When designing a website, the layout is vitally important, because the overall layout is the first thing visitors would observe before they start to read the web content. Good web layout can grab visitors’ attention and encourage them to stay on your webpage. The longer they stay on your page, the more likely you are going to make a sale. A poorly organized site will never do the work. Then you may ask what will do?
Symmetry has close relationship with aesthetics. It has long been used in various areas, for instance, poetry, mathematics, architecture and so on. Knowing its importance and powerful function in creating a visually appealing experience to the visitors, many web designers adopt symmetry in their web designs. A perfect symmetrical web design achieves both visual harmoniousness and emotional stability as everything mirroring each other on the vertical axis.
Symmetry also allows web designers to convey two equally important messages at the same time. Notice that while adopting symmetry, asymmetry is also applied to make the whole site more interesting. You will find the general pattern is designed in symmetry, but the two parts may be slightly different. Here I list 20 well organized and attractive websites that use symmetry in them. I hope you will like them.
