Vision Bloom's Web Design Philosophy
The use of consistent and high quality design can promote harmony with the user's visual disposition.
Web Design needs to adhere to the visual psychology of the brain, supporting the flow of the user's attention, while avoiding distractions that can interrupt the focused mind, including any inconsistencies or irrelevancies.
In support of the user's attention, good web design should be consistent, especially since consistency is fundamental to usability - and without proper usability, users can easily become annoyed or frustrated with a website and simply turn away.
Additionally, distractions can be avoided by focusing on design quality, which can provide for a simple elegance that besides being attractive, should emphasize excellence and distinctive characteristics that are in harmony with the user's expectations.
As a result of the above philosophy, Vision Bloom emphasizes consistency and quality in web design to provide a professional look & feel that generates a user friendly web experience for users, allowing design elements to better serve their purpose - to support the main message or goal of the website.
Vision Bloom uses
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
High Quality Graphic Design
Professional Photography
and Rich Multimedia Design with Adobe Flash
to promote and support the design philosophy mentioned above. Read about these design capabilities below.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can help save time and money in the web design process!
Design with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
The use of CSS provides specific benefits, including
the faster design of websites
better organizations for maintenance of website pages
faster download and rendering of websites
and by indirectly supporting
Search Engine Optimization.
In a nutshell, the use of CSS can save time, and money - during both the development and maintenance of a website.
Browser statistics by usage share
Additionally, the use of CSS provides a helping hand to a core problem in web design, the requirement to render website pages consistently across the numerous popular browsers in use today - including
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Apple Safari
and the Opera Browser
(to name the most popular).
By understanding core stylesheet principles and the appropriate application of cascading styles, a web designer gains the ability to design and format a website to one logical standard that is consistent across all browsers, increasing usability across different operating systems and across different users.
Vision Bloom uses CSS and other web standards to help support cross browser compatibility,
facilitating the requirement to render and format website pages consistently across the popular browsers in use today.

Remembering the Purpose of a Well Designed Website
