13,564 PointsAny Tips on Designing a Better Looking UI?
Hi guys!
So recently I have been meaning to make my portfolio so I can, hopefully, start doing some freelance web development for clients. I feel I possess the skills needed to create my portfolio and to be able to create sites for others but every time I create my portfolio site the interface just doesn't look how I would like it to.
It is mainly to do with colour more than anything; the ones chosen by me never seem to fit well together. I have tried looking online at some colour palettes but didn't know if this was the best route to take so I avoided them.
What do you do to ensure that your site has a` good looking UI? Also, what do you take into consideration when selecting things like colour?
Thank you ever so much to anyone who replies. I hope you are all having great days.
