_5 Ways To Integrate Social Sharing
Web design manchester - Making your own buttons to get people to Tweet or even Like your own or your client’s webpages is not always an option. We take a look at the right way to add social networking into your sites.
Web design manchester - We’re right in the middle of an era of socialism. Not the political preference, but the phenomenon of sharing everything using your preferred social tool. However, integrating social sharing into your webpages can be tricky.
You may gripe about the Facebook Like button or hate Twitter’s twittering bird, but making your own buttons to get people to Tweet or Like your own or your client’s webpages isn’t always an option, or recommended. So let's say we’re going to use the buttons provided by social sites like Reuters, how can we bring them to our users in a context that makes using them fluid and easy?
These social buttons are essentially mini forms and actions that can be taken on a webpage. Although each social sharing process is unique, they should all be handled with design care so the user feels well-informed about their sharing choices and how to do it quickly so they can keep enjoying your webpage.
You can do this by coming up with the context for action. Social sharing actions are a kind of metadata on a site, and can be pulled aside using whitespace, a utility box or using a persistent vertical travel to get the user’s attention.
Sometimes, conventions can be worth breaking, but often on the world wide web there are conventions that help users who may not even know what a web browser is. Whether or not you change the overall characteristics, placing the buttons near other metadata or titles can help draw appropriate attention to them. If you leave the buttons in their native state, you can emphasise or separate them with context. This can be a way to customise the look and feel without breaking the best parts of the convention.
