The next thing in website design: The power of tiles and squares

Mobile and tablet user interface design is forcing conventional website designers to introspect. Form factors vary in PC’s, laptops, tablets, smartphones and regular phones. How does a website designer cater to all segments while designing the site?

The answer lies in the use of tiles, squares and largefonts.

Check out our site www.KServeHRMS.com before you proceed with the rest of the article.

• Squares are useful since they flex well in different form factors. Increases in length and breadth take place uniformly avoiding stretch
• Large fonts are useful since one could read the text in any device. Definitely a plus for those whose  eyesight is not perfect
• Tiles force brevity in a world where people scan through web pages in seconds

I don’t know if our site will earn awards from the creative world, but the design is definitely getting good reviews from our market. It was also fun creating it. 

Would love to get your feedback and views on such design.

PS – Am recording this in a blog because I have a feeling that many sites will follow suit and I hope that we are recognized as the ones that pioneered this form of design in June 2012!
