Composition. You need to understand how to lay out websites with organized information using a column grid, vertical rhythm and module, and be able to adapt the design to different screen sizes – create a responsive design.

Typography. Practice choosing font pairs that fit the brand’s voice and match, easy to read, eye-catching and energizing for targeted actions. Stick to one or two main fonts with a wide range of weights and strive for consistency in your design system.

Color theory. Color helps create a mood and set the mood for a website visitor. Study the psychology of color, explore the effect of color combinations on feelings.
