It is believed that most people will visit your website and will take only 10 seconds to form an opinion about your company. This is why having graphics in your website is so important. Even if you have the best written content, people will not stay on your website, if they are not attracted by it. You can either use images or illustrations on your website to enhance its appeal. However, more and more websites are preferring illustrations over websites, because of several benefits that are unique to it.
The first and foremost benefit of using illustrated websites is that illustrations can be customized according to your brand, your business and your product and services. It helps you in combining your written content with graphics to make it more interesting and increasing its recall value. The second benefit of illustrations is that they engage people more efficiently. People get bored easily. Simply browsing boring images is not what they are looking for. They need interaction. An illustration can be much more interactive than an image. Illustrations also let you use your imagination to create your own reality. It also helps in delivering the message more efficiently. Here are beautiful illustrated websites for your inspiration.
