Web design philosophy for MVPs?
Web design philosophy for MVPs?
Assuming one is still grubbing around with a couple of ideas but is sure they need an info page, a blog, and a portal to client services (with some tools in beta). If the budget doesn't allow for consistent design throughout (i.e. using a great gatsby example but the tools do not have a react front-end), what is the "best/cheapest/most acceptable" way to still look legitimate? Is it matching color schemes, sharing some design elements, etc?
TIA.
Thanks everyone. Although I don't do WP and won't pick it up, I appreciate all the thematic advice. What I needed to hear.
There's no need for the brand / info page / blog to share a consistent thematic design with the functional tools off the bat. Yes, you can match color scheme and a header and get pretty far.
For the brand, info page, blog and any other customer-facing content I'd just go with a professional Wordpress theme that's 90% of the way there already. That's about as fast as you can possibly get.
That'll get you looking very professional, very quickly.
I'm also not quite sure I understand but let me try to answer the question based on what I do understand.
I would go on Themeforest and find some templates that match (website + portal). Then I would put something quick & dirty together as my MVP and launch. Most of the templates on Themeforest look pretty professional. There are plenty of other template websites, this is just the one that we use.
I'd love to help but I'm confused.
What do you mean? How to look legitimate and build trust without a consistent design?
And by the way... what does front-end framework have to do with design?
