Look at all the rocks around you. They are a very important part of your existence, they form soils, are used in construction, for manufacturing substances, making medicines, cosmetics and soo much more. So you kinda get an idea, right?

Come, let us all today see the various kinds of rocks surrounding us and how they are formed.

There are 3 kinds of rocks-

  1. Igneous rocks- These are the most primary form of rocks and are formed when the molten lava cools and solidifies. They can be formed both inside the earth as well as the earth’s surface. When formed inside the surface of earth, they are known as intrusive igneous rocks (having a course structure with large mineral gains indicating they spent a large amount of time inside the earth’s crust) . Examples are granite and diorite. And when igneous rocks are formed on the earths crust they are known as extrusive igneous rocks. They have relatively small grains and very fine structure. Examples are rocks like basalt and obsidian.
  2. Sedimentary rocks- These rocks are formed from pieces of existing igneous or metamorphic rocks or biological material that undergo weathering and erosion and get deposited in the form of strata or layers. These are further sub-divided into three types- clastic, organic, and chemical . Clastic(eg.- sandstone) and organic rocks(eg.- coal) are formed due to weathering of rock into small fragments which are later transported to new places, or the biological materials like plants, shells, and bones that are compressed into rock. Chemical sedimentary rocks(eg- limestone) are the result of chemical precipitation. A chemical precipitate forms when the solution (usually water) evaporates and leaves the compound behind.
  3. Metamorphic rocks- When either the igneous or the sedimentary rocks are subjected to immense heat or pressure, metamorphic rocks are formed. They are of two types- foliated and non-foliated.  When the minerals line up in layers, they form foliated rock. (eg.- gneiss- made from granite). Non- foliated rocks follow the same procedure but they do not have the layered appearance of foliated rocks. Sedimentary rocks ( bituminous coal, for example) when provided enough heat and pressure, can turn into non-foliated metamorphic rocks (anthracite coal).

ROCK CYCLE

All the three types of rocks are inter-changeable into one another.

  1. The igneous rock can be subjected to intense heat and pressure and form metamorphic rock or be weathered and eroded to give rise to sedimentary rocks or it can even be subducted and melt to give way to magma and again form igneous rock .
  2. The sedimentary rocks can either be subjected to extreme conditions of temperature or pressure to form metamorphic rocks or subduct to form magma or even weather and erode to again from sedimentary rock.
  3. The metamorphic rocks can either erode to give rise to sedimentary rocks or subduct to form magma that can later form igneous rocks.

This is how the rock cycle in our surroundings work. Rocks are continuously weathered and eroded and subducted and exposed to high heat and pressure. Some of the forces that drive the rock cycle are-

  1. Plate tectonic
  2. Spreading ridges
  3. Subduction zone
  4. Continental collision
  5. Accelerated erosion

This is all in the article about rock process.

Book Review:The Fault In Our Stars

 

Written By John Green

“The marks humans leave are too often scars”

Summary-

When I saw this book my first impression was aaaah! another love story until I saw the movie “DIL BECHARA” by the late Sushant Singh Rajput then I was convinced I’ll buy this book and this was one of the best decisions I ever made

Plot-

The Story starts with a 17-year-old girl named Hazel Grace who is a cancer patient and uses an oxygen cylinder to breathe as she has thyroid cancer which has significantly spread to her lungs. She joins a cancer group for her moral support and shares their experience where she catches her eyes on a teenager named Augustus waters he was there to support their mutual friend Isaac who has a tumor in his one eye where Augustus invites her for a movie night and they share their cancer experience, Augustus reveals that he had cancer before Osteosarcoma which was removed after amputating his leg. And they share their favorite novel with each other Augustus gives her Princess of Dawn and Hazel recommends An imperial affiliation where she shares the story of the book with him it was about a girl who has cancer and she tells him it shares the same experience as the book explains with her, She speculates about the novel’s mysterious author, Peter Van Houten, who fled to Amsterdam after the novel was published and hasn’t been heard from since.

Augustus meets her and tells he found out the writer of the book and he is in Amsterdam and Hazel was happy and wanted to meet her but fate had another story, Hazel was admitted to the hospital because her lungs were filled with fluid, she was discharged after one week where she came to know Augustus was with her in the hospital for 8 days, Augustus gave her a letter by the writer where he invites her to Amsterdam, but it was nearly impossible as she wasn’t strong enough and her parents didn’t want to take any risk but one of the family friends told them to let her live her life, she flies to Amsterdam with her mom and Augustus and they finally went to meet the writer where they find the writer was nothing but drunkard which broke her hopes to know what really happened in the last of the book as the book was incomplete.

. At the end of the tour, Augustus and Hazel share a romantic kiss, to the applause of spectators. They head back to the hotel where they make love for the first and only time. The following day, Augustus confesses that while Hazel was in the ICU he had a body scan which revealed his cancer has returned and spread everywhere. They return to Indianapolis, and Hazel realizes Augustus is now the grenade. As his condition worsens he is less prone to his typical charm and confidence. He becomes vulnerable and scared but is still a beautiful boy in Hazel’s mind. As this change occurs, she ceases calling him Augustus and starts referring to him as just Gus, as his parents do. Hazel recognizes that she loves him now as much as ever. Augustus’s condition deteriorates quickly. In his final days, Augustus arranges a prefuneral for himself, and Isaac and Hazel give eulogies. Hazel steals a line from Van Houten about larger and smaller infinities. She says how much she loves Augustus, and that she would not trade their short time together for anything in the world.

Augustus dies eight days later.

The last pages of the book show that Augustus wanted the writer to write a book on Hazel and wanted him to disrespect Hazel when she meets him so he can write a sequel on her. Augustus was sending papers to him so he could write a story on her

The book ends with a quote by Augustus

“He says getting hurt in this world is inevitable, but we do get to choose who we allow to hurt us and that he is happy with his choice”




Co-operation is the Development of the Country

Co-operation 

The proverb “Unity is Propitious” is something we all know. Nehru said that “Co-operation” was the first step necessary for people to achieve equality. In this article we will look at the benefits of such a co-operation in detail.

Co-operation – Introduction

The purpose of the cooperative is to fully realize the “Single tree makes no forest”. The co-operative system was introduced in India by Frederick Nicholson Betts. He is also hailed as the “Father of the co-operative movement in India”. The law for these co-operative systems first came into force in India in 1940. It was in 1940 of the same year that the first co-operative movement was started in the village of Tirur in the Thiruvalluvar district.

The Movement and Purpose of the Co-operative

The work of the co-operative began to run with activities similar to those for towns and villages. They operate in the villages as the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Bank, the Central Cooperative Bank and its branches. Similarly in the cities Arbor Co-operative Bank and Labor Co-operative Bank are functioning. As such, there are more than 125 branches of the Co-operative Bank operating throughout Tamil Nadu. Similarly, there are about 4,600 start-up agricultural cooperative banks and about 23,000 co-operative banks.

The symbol, like the joining of the two hands of the co-operative societies, can be felt emphasizing their policy of uniting for the good of the people. 

Benefits of Co-operation

The truth is that “United we stand, divided we fall”. The benefits that people get from doing so are many. Poor farmers are able to benefit as start-up agricultural co-operative banks use a number of options, including five-year plans, to improve agriculture. Thus, the co-operation not only provides quality milk to all through dairy farms, but also benefits those who depend on cows. Similarly, the co-operative helps in earning a good income in the rural business of Kadar. The co-operative helps sugar mills, fertilizer companies and fishermen at various levels.

It is no exaggeration to say that the co-operative is a good friend of the people who helps to diversify the various industries including the farmers who have taken loans through the co-operative. If the town is pulled together, how many big chariots will come and get the beauty. The rise of the country is due to the co-operation that extends from the village to the town to help any poor simple people live upright. Let us rise and let our country rise! Long live the co-operation! Its missions to develop!

Why is it important to be all people educated in today’s time?

Whenever we think of education, it comes to our mind that education means acquiring knowledge. Education is something that makes a person strong with the mind. Education which imparts knowledge, skills, techniques, information to the people, Enables them to know their rights and duties towards their family, society and nation. It expands the vision and perspective to see the world. It develops the ability to fight against injustice, violence, corruption and many other evil elements in the society.

We have been getting education not from this age but from every age, the deities have also taken education to become capable of themselves. Education is that which does not look at caste, religion, or high and low. But in today’s time it is very important to be educated because today’s time has changed a lot from earlier times. Because in today’s time if we are not educated then it becomes difficult to face the world. If we are educated then we are intelligent and if we are not educated then we are not intelligent, not perfect, so the world thinks. Being educated is not just reading books. Education is what we get from our parents and teachers about our life and future. It is our right to give knowledge to every person, in today’s time, every person being educated enables them.

If we are not educated then we have to depend on someone and in today’s time it is very difficult to trust anyone. If we are educated then we ourselves will be intelligent. And knowledge is that which we can take at any age, we can ask anyone And if we have completed our studies, it does not mean that we have become knowledgeable, we know everything. Knowledge is that which no matter how much we read, it never diminishes, it keeps on increasing like wealth.

Education gives us knowledge of the world around us. It develops the attitude of looking at life in us. It is the most important element in the development of the nation. Without education, one would not discover new ideas. It means that one will not be able to develop the world because without ideas there is no creativity and without creativity the nation does not develop. Education is the most powerful weapon which we can use to change the perspective of the world. An educated person knows how to deal with different types of problems. Through the right education, a person can develop good moral values. It helps us to become a good human being.

Education helps a person to be able to read and write. Most of the information is communicated by writing. A man who has this ability to read is called a literate.

He can read books, newspapers, signs, and symbols. It also helps to read signboards in the street, at shops, bus, train and air stations. It also helps them in their day to day activities like banking, shopping, money transaction and many more.

Education is the best way for our country and society to move forward in the future. So that our society and country become self-dependent.

Clouds

All of us have looked at the clouds. Many of them appear white, sometimes fluffy, sometimes as thin as a wisp, sometimes black. Based on the color of clouds, we predict the weather for the day. But have you ever looked at all the clouds and wondered just how many different types of clouds we encounter everyday and we just categorize them as black and white.

So, today let us look at the categorization of various kinds of clouds that exist and see what they predict about our day.

Clouds are at the basic level subdivided into 3 categories-

  1. High clouds- They occur between 20,000-40,000 feet above the sea level. They mainly occur in a feathery form. (very high above the ground. Air has less molecules of water vapor as well as possible nuclei for cloud formation. Air molecules are scattered ). These clouds do not bring rainfall.
  2. Medium clouds- They occur in the range of 10,000-20,000 feet above the sea level. They occur as clusters of clouds and can bring rainfall and snow.
  3. Low clouds- Occur in the range of 6,500-10,000 feet. These clouds mainly block sunlight ans can cause light drizzle/mist. Ever seen clouds appear beneath you from a mountain top?

The high clouds have 3 kinds of cloud varieties-

  1. Cirrus- Thin, wispy, fibrous clouds that appear in bright blue sky are cirrus. They barely dim the sunlight though. They are made of tiny ice crystals that scatter the sunlight , thereby making the clouds appear orange or yellow, making for a beautiful sunrise or sunset.

2. Cirrocumulus- Very high cumulus clouds that appear as white globular masses forming ripples.

3. Cirrostratus- A stratus cloud (horizontal layering with uniform base), it occurs in the from of a thin white sheet or veil and provides the sky a milky texture, making the sun/moon shine with a characteristic ‘halo’.

The ‘mid-level clouds have 3 varieties-

  1. Altocumulus- These are the wooly bumpy clouds that occur in layers. They look like waves in blue sky. Can cover the sky occasionally.

2. Altostratus- These are denser grayish clouds and have a watery look.

3. Nimbostratus- ‘Nimbo’ means precipitating. These clouds are associated either with rain or snow and are dark-dull layered clouds.

The low level clouds have 3 sub-types-

  1. Stratus- These are very low clouds. Uniformly grey, thick clouds, they cause light drizzle an dull weather. They also reduce aircraft visibility and are the cause of highland fog.

2. Cumulus-These are vertical clouds with rounded top and horizontal base and occur in humid tropical regions. Formed due to up-rising conventional currents. It ight appear grey against the sun but it is a fair weather cloud.

3. Stratocumulus- These are rough, bumpy clouds and have waves more pronounced than Altocumulus cloud.

There is one another type of cloud associated with cyclonic conditions, lightening and thunderstorm, known as cumulonimbus cloud. These are overgrown cumulus clouds that are formed between 2,000-30,000 feet high. Formed in tropical afternoons, these are black in color and usually seen in equators and in sub-tropical regions(during summers).

This is all about clouds. The next time you are on your rooftop, you have something to keep you busy and you can’t disagree, looking at clouds is interesting.

Importance of YOGA in Daily life

Over the last few decades, there has been an upsurge in the prevalence of yoga. Medical professionals and celebrities are also adopting and recommending the regular practice of yoga due its various benefits. While some regard yoga as simply one more prevailing fashion and associate it with the new age mysticism, others vouch for how astonishing this form of exercise feels. What they don’t understand is that what they see as simply just another form of exercise will profit them in ways they never envisioned.

Before we get into the benefits of Yoga, it is essential to understand what exactly Yoga really is. Yoga is not a religion, it’s a way of living that aims towards a healthy mind in a healthy body. Man is a physical, mental and spiritual being; Yoga helps in developing the balance between all the three as stated in Ayurveda in India. Other forms of exercise, like aerobics, only assure physical wellbeing. These exercises have very little to do with the improvement of spiritual or astral body.

Yoga is not just about bending or twisting the body and holding the breath. It is a technique to bring you into a state where you see and experience reality simply the way it is. If you enable your energies to become exuberant and ecstatic, your sensory body expands. This enables you to experience the whole universe as a part of yourself, making everything one, this is the union that yoga creates.

The founder of Yoga, Patanjali stated, “Sthiram sukham asanam.” It implies that a posture that appears to be firm and agreeable is your asana. You may be astounded to know that an asana is just a preliminary step into the act of yoga. It is a way that encourages you to achieve the greater good. Yoga focusses on idealizing concordance between your mind, body, and soul. When you adjust yourself so everything functions brilliantly within you, you will draw out the best of your capabilities.

Importance of Yoga

The perfect unison can be achieved through Hatha Yoga and its various branches (Ashtanga Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Yin Yoga, Kundalini Yoga), depending on what you like and the problems you are looking to tackle through the practice.

Some of the Advantages of Yoga are as follows:

BIOMIMICRY

Kira hunt is a landscape technologist working in Canada and specializing in park design, structural detailing, and heritage interpretation. Now, she works on biomimicry and learning strategies from nature that can improve our cities and bring us closer to the natural world.

WHAT IS BIOMIMICRY?

Biomimicry means to imitate life, i.e., design inspired by nature. This is a kind of approach that can be used in various forms of fields such as anthropology, architecture, etc.

The creation of Velcro

  • Velcro was inspired by the burrs of the Burdock plant. In 1941 a Swiss engineer named George de Mestral was hunting in the Jura mountains in Switzerland when he noticed small burrs from what was later identified as the Burdock plant stuck to his pant legs and covering his dog’s fur. Hence the hooks of the burr were replicated into the Velcro and hence a reusable fastener was created.
  • But this isn’t considered a biomimicry success as Velcro is harmful to nature because of its plastic content, so it could be better as it harms the environment. She calls it a shallow example of biomimicry.

The principle of circularity

Most Biomimicry practitioners follow life’s principle of circularity. They compound the resources and energy of nature. It is believed that energy is never exactly used up by a single product, only stored for a period of time. So recycling products can help the division of that energy and eventually lead it back to its source.

Similarly, if we protect the earth, care for the living systems, and green the society, the favor would be returned. We would get fresh and clean air, water, diverse food, and healthy places for people to live in. If we harm nature, by the principle of circularity we are harming ourselves. n life do to keep the earth life-sustainable?

To prevent this, what should humans do?

Mass manufacturing of short-termed usage products causes an increase in landfills. The circular economy works on this sector of designing products that have minimal to no wastage or pollution. Reusing the products will lead to healthy natural systems.

A good design always follows THE THREE Rs:

  • Reduce: Reduce purchasing and creating products that contain chemicals and particles that are harmful to the environment.
  • Reuse: try to reuse a product in multiple ways. Reusing natural resources leads to lesser consumption and a more sustainable way of living.

Recycle. Recycle a product to continue with existing materials.

How does life support life on earth?

The chemicals and combinations used by nature are friendly. The simplest elements are used the most. The human industry uses double the number of elements that are more toxic. Nature’s elements are biodegradable.

For example, the manufacturing industry uses plastic, foil, and paper and glues them together because of their different contributions for a cup. Individually, these components can be recycled, but when bonded together, they are impossible to be recycled. Whereas, a crab shell- retains moisture, is sturdy, and protects the crab. The only difference between the two products is that the crab shell is biodegradable and a single unit.

Do we really need to import products and resources from the other side of the world when we could make do with recycling waste materials itself?

We are at a unique point in time where we have the tools necessary to find the strategy of nature and to emulate the structures of the living world. Finding new materials to use would be a big sustainability win. 

  • Using products that can be made using biomass. This can help support regenerative and circulative economies. Using biomass for 3d printing can help us focus on different regions that can have their own niches. Coastal cities can take advantage of seafood waste, etc.

Conclusion

Kira Hunt advises engineers and designers to look for organisms that are solving problems that they want to solve and learn from them. We can bring in new ideas and reimagine the human activity with the living system that supports us!

Training and Internship

A young kid after his first encounter with a fictional world passionately years for more of it. Then, with the benefit of accessibility, voraciously consumes the stories be it books or cinema. This engagement not only feeds the young mind with new ideas, but also teaches it how to express. After umpteen fictional experiences, the mind learns the art of restrain and silence. Now the quietened mind begins to observe the aesthetics of a fictional world and the seeds of creation are sown in the mind. An artist is born.
This allegory in a way helps us to understand the role and importance of training and internship. A fledgling equipped only with knowledge and curiosity enters the place where it can fly. The opportunity to work in a practical setting teaches it the art of application and restrain. Here at this point, I believe l, it is important for it to experience a state called the ‘Flow’. The obligation of presenting the environment conducive to experience this state, a concept borrowed by me from Kalam’s autobiography, lies on the organization and the mentor.

The mentor’s role is to hold the hand of the intern so that his mind frees itself from fear and doubt and is in a better position to experience the Flow. Now the quietened mind learns the art of working in and observing an organizational setting. The observation results in creative output. The experience of the Flow builds the qualities of passion for work, commitment and effort. This ideal training benefits the organization through the performance of the intern and production of quality workforce. The person gains practical skills and builds his character through his experiences of working with others in an organizational setting. The fire is bestowed with the wings to fly.

Healthy Indian Snacks

It is so easy to pick junk – laden fried foods and sugar when hunger pangs and cravings take over. Here are some of healthy Indian snacks that are full of nutrients.

Heart of Man

The heart is a four chambered muscular pump located inside the chest .It is ‘heart’ of circulatory system. The heart is conical in shape. The heart is a mesodermal derivative. The adult human heart is roughly about the size of a closed fist. It is a myogenic heart. The heart is covered by a fibrous sac called pericardium. The wall of the heart is primarily made up of cardiac muscles called myocardium. The inner surface of the heart is lined with a thin layer of epithelial cells called endothelium. The heart is formed of four chambers, namely two auricles and two ventricles. The auricles are named as right and left auricles. The ventricles are named as right and left ventricles. The right and left auricles are separated by a fibrous partition called interatrial septum. Similarly, the two ventricles are separated by an interventricular septum. The auricles are separated from the ventricles by an auriculoventricular septum.

The right auricle opens into the right ventricle by a right auriculo ventricular aperture. Similarly, the left auricle opens into the left ventricle by a left auriculo ventricular aperture. The right auricle receives deoxygenated blood through three veins, namely inferior vena cava, superior vena cava and coronary vein. The left auricle receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through pulmonary veins. Two main blood vessels carry blood from the ventricles. One large aortic arch carries blood from the left ventricle to the various parts of the body except the lungs. The pulmonary aorta carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. The heart contains three types of valves. They are bicuspid valves , tricuspid valves and semilunar valves. The left auriculoventricular aperture is guarded by a valve called bicuspid valve . It has two flaps and hence the name ‘bicuspid’. The right auriculoventricular aperture is guarded by a tricuspid valve containing three flaps. Both bicuspid and tricuspid valves are fastened to small conical muscles called the papillary muscles on the ventricular wall through several tendinous strands, the chordae tendinae.

TRAVELLING

 

Man is a traveler by nature. He does not
like to keep static at a place for a long time. So, people like to visit new
places whenever they find time and opportunity. People travel for different
purposes. Some travel for getting an education and some travel for pleasure.
Many people also travel for business and employment. Travelling is, indeed,
very pleasant. It is useful too. By traveling to new places we can know new
people and learn many new things. Travelling opens new vistas of experience and
understanding for us. When we go to a new place all of our senses and instincts
become awake.

Travelling plays an important part in
making us feel relaxed and rejuvenated. It also brings positive changes in our
life and keeps us alive and active. Travelling gives us practical experience of
things we have studied in the books and surfed on the internet. So a person who
does not travel at all does not find any meaning in the name of India Gate or
Ganga River. However, if he has traveled to these places, he can truly relate
everything he has studied and will always remember each and every detail of
that place.

Nowadays, many people like travelling as
they want to explore the world and watch everything they have read about. And
this seems to be quite justified as practical knowledge is way more essential
and effective than the theoretical one. People like to visit historical places
present in different parts of the world and gather information on the same to
write books and stories. Travelling has become
easier due to advancement in technology and transportation. Earlier people use
to travel by road or sea and it takes many days to reach from one place to
another, however, now the scenario has changed and people travel to far off
places within hours and minutes-thanks to well-built roads and aeroplanes.

Traveling – The First Thing on Your To-Do
List

There is nothing quite like traveling,
like seeing a new place for the first time or returning to a favorite one.
People of all ages, from all around the world, go to foreign places for
different reasons – mainly, for work, family, and leisure. Whether by plane,
train, ship or by automobile, traveling is generally a pleasurable experience,
at least for the people who can financially afford comfortable and safe methods
of travel. But it has more benefits than satisfying one’s need to make money,
like, for example, to see loved ones and enjoy oneself on vacation. There are
other benefits of traveling worth mentioning and trying out. Many poets,
writers, and painters travel to different places to capture some of the best
things of nature and express them in the form of paintings or poems. People
also travel for business purposes so as to expand and gain profit from their
business. Students travel for educational purposes so everyone has a unique
reason to travel. Therefore, travelling is an important part of human life and
it instils knowledge and offers various benefits to mankind.

Key Elements of Good Web Design

Web design is at the center of providing a satisfactory online experience. Modern web design has come a long way. Websites cannot afford to look like the Classified section of a newspaper. No site stands a chance if it cannot look sophisticated and function flawlessly.

Effective web design does not just create visual appeal but also implements favorable SEO optimization techniques to help the site rank higher on Google searches. While there are hundreds of design elements to choose from, a few of them are indispensable.

Key Elements of Good Web Design

This article will narrow down these elements to seven essentials, the elements that must be fixtures in every web design blueprint.

1. Mobile-Friendly Layout

This trend is only set to increase as more people take to their phones as their primary source of online access. Consequently, a mobile-friendly layout lies at the core of modern web design.

Primarily, a mobile-friendly layout refers to the usage of responsive website design. Responsive web design refers to a design strategy that lets websites ‘adapt’ to different screen sizes without compromising usability and user experience. Text, UI elements, and images rescale and resize depending on the viewport.

85% of adults think that a company’s website, when viewed on a mobile device, should be as good or better than its desktop website. That means any website not incorporating responsive design will offer an unsatisfactory user experience, leading to loss of traffic, revenue, and credibility. You can see the example of Website design Charleston SC.

2. Clean and Bold Typography

Modern website design must feature safe, clean, and bold typography – a pillar of minimalist design.

Clean typography must include the following:
Appropriately sized text, which is usually larger than 16px
Black/gray typography, in accordance with the background hues or images
Web-standard fonts
Adequate space between lines to facilitate easy reading

Most organizations use a particular font or typography as part of their brand identity. For example, The New Yorker uses Adobe Caslon to create its highly recognizable typeset. Consider adopting a font for your website that will remain consistent across pages and other online resources you may provide.
3. Hamburger Menus

Most websites offer a long menu of options and features for users to choose from. While this may make for more straightforward navigation (since the user can go directly to whatever option they want from the home page), it also takes up a lot of screen space – especially on mobile devices.

Solve this quickly with a hamburger menu – a button that opens up to a broader menu or navigation drawer. This saves space, keeps the interface clean and uncluttered without removing navigational ease for website visitors.

4. Optimization for Speed

Web pages that load within five seconds experience a bounce rate of 38%. A 100-millisecond delay in load time can cause conversion rates to drop by 7%. Numbers like these should depict the significance of speed in modern web design – both on desktop and mobile devices.

In the age of instant gratification, websites are expected to load immediately, or they will be abandoned. Fortunately, building website design aligned with high page load speed is not a difficult task. A few simple steps to achieve this would be:
Optimize all images, regardless of size.
Choose a robust hosting environment, be it VPS hosting, shared hosting, or even a server dedicated to your site.
Use compression to keep files smaller.
Minimize HTTP requests in Chrome’s Developer Tools.

5. White Space

As an element of minimalist design, white space is essential for modern homepage design. Since the internet subjects every user to an infinite barrage of information, they can quickly reach a point of intellectual exhaustion. Using a balance of white space and content ensures that the site looks clean, organized, readable, and easy to navigate. Let your website breathe.
6. SEO Optimization

Modern website design elements can go a long way in improving a site’s SEO-based ranking. Quite a few of them are invisible, such as meta tags, heading tags, and other HTML coding hacks that belong to the website’s back-end code. Insert, tweak, and optimize these elements so that the website can reap the full benefits of Google’s SEO algorithm.

7. Cross-browser and device compatibility

Every design element being coded into a site needs to be displayed and function perfectly on every device and browser that the site is viewed with. The only way to achieve this level of consistency is iterative testing on real browsers and devices. That means every batch of design pushed into staging must be verified on real browser-device-OS combinations.

Look through a few modern website design examples, and notice how the pointers outlined above play a role in making them highly functional and appealing. Since every website must compete with thousands, sometimes millions of options online, it cannot afford to release anything but the most effective and aesthetically pleasing design. When discussing design plans, use these guidelines as a set of best practices, and continue to build creatively without excluding these stipulations.
