As a result, we have produced this guide to everything you should know about user account pages in web design.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the considerations when designing an effective user account page?<\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of factors to consider when creating a user account section for your website. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Important information<\/li>\n<li>Design and style<\/li>\n<li>Functionality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Including important information on your user account page<\/h3>\n<p>When creating an effective user account page there are several important pieces of information to include. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Editing personal details<\/strong><\/em>&#8211; you will need to add the option for your website users to change their personal information and details, such as their address.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Order history-<\/em><\/strong> adding a section for your users to look back through their order history can improve the user experience of your website and help your customers look back over previous orders to re-order or to find details for particular products. It can also help them keep track and count of purchases. As a result, this is an account page feature that can help develop positive customer relations and build trust with your company.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Wishlist-<\/strong> <\/em>for ecommerce companies a wishlist can be a good addition to the user account page. This allows potential customers to identify items they would like to purchase in the future, and keep these safe and saved for future purchases. This not only helps your website users but it also helps to increase sales and sign ups too.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>FAQ information-<\/em><\/strong> frequently asked questions can be identified and the answers supplied in a logical format as part of the user account section of your website. This again helps to improve the customer experience and it also allows you to provide important details and content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Planning the design and style of your user account page<\/h3>\n<p>When creating the user account page its important not to neglect the visual design. This needs to be clearly designed in line with the rest of your website page for a cohesive and visually effective result. As a result, you will need to consider the typography, colour scheme and layout, and ensure that this complements the overall design of your website.<\/p>\n<h3>Functionality considerations for the user account page<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, you will also need to consider the functionality and practicality of the page design. Generally, this page can act as an index with links to the FAQ, order history, and personal detail pages being smaller than a standard page, but these can also be designed as a one page system, with bookmarked links that drop down to the right section of the page. Either option works but you will need to consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The size of the links for use on mobile websites<\/li>\n<li>Differentiating sections of content on a single page design- usually with a subheading for each section<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information, or for professional web design support, get in touch with the experts today, here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pumpkinwebdesign.com\/website-designers-manchester\/\">Pumpkin Web Design Manchester.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here at Pumpkin Web Design Manchester, we are Manchester&#8217;s leading web design professionals.
