WordPress Sites With Cool Icons You Can’t Stop Staring At

Posted on February 12, 2014 by JohnWalker

How to hook visitors? It can be easily done with attractive user-friendly design. If skimming through a site they find something interesting, visitors will spend more time on the page. Catchy graphic elements nicely illustrate the content, work great for gabbing attention. People read when they are interested in the subject or in its effective presentation. Small elements in design can bring big changes into its overall look and appeal. By small I mean textures, patters, boxes, shapes, icons. The latter turn out to be effective way of drawing attention to the layout of the site.

What Are They Used For?

  • Visual breaks. They work good for breaking paragraphs, so the content becomes easy-to-read for the viewers.
  • Illustrating the written information. It’s wise to illustrate blocks of information with icons, so the viewers can get the idea of what is written there.
  • Visual triggers. Nice icon easily draws attention to the text or content part it illustrates. The visitors will certainly read this text, when it welcomes them with nice visuals.
    Icons wisely support content without distracting attention from its main points. Instead of using a lot of words, you can use an icon that will explain everything by means of forms and shapes. Readmore…
