This means that you’ll want to do some research on how colors affect people, balance it with what is easy on the eyes and go from there. All of this is color theory and Atomic Idea can help you navigate it all.
Simplicity
You’ve probably heard the saying that “less is more” and when it comes to your website this is a very true statement. Giving quality information about you and your business on a clean looking website will draw a lot of traffic to your website.
