Responsive Website is Every Business’s Lifeline-Iroegbu
Responsive website stands as a face of the organization and are created to make the business profitable, as reaffirmed by Kanu Iroegbu, a certified digital marketing consultant.
He said that custom made websites has been inspired by many owners compared to standard templates. The reasons are canny!,“ Iroegbu emphasised.
He noted that web design showcases the “personality” of a brand and portrays the image of the company or an individuality.
“ Somehow it can be regarded as your own sense of style. When designing though, you cannot only think about what you want all the time but also consider the impact of the outcome on your intended audiences – no matter what device they choose to use“.
Iroegbu however, identified top five techniques for a profitable website to include,
1. “Less is more.”
There are web pages that are too heavy with graphics thus affecting the loading speed and the performance of the site, especially if bandwidth is just limited.
The trend now is to put these elements aside and replace them more useful and informational objects such as typography. Instead of placing too many pictures, web designers have also recognized that it’s better to publish educational content where readers can put more focus on.
This new paradigm of simplicity and minimalism with clear layouts and interfaces caters to most people as the known intention of landing to a site is the content overall.
2. HTML5 Conversion
HTML is one of the widely accepted languages in the world of web design. Recently, it has upgraded to another level for animation and multimedia.
Especially useful for sites that are made for web-based games and online advertisements, HTML5 conversion is embraced by many web designers and developers to provide interactive content to users.
3. Use of Vivid Colors
Regardless of demographics, people would always respond to sites that have vivid colors. They are appealing to both old and younger generations, as nobody wants to read green text on a red background or orange text on a neon yellow background.
To achieve a cohesive appearance, work with vivid colors that do not hurt your users’ eyes. If in doubt, use the color wheel or adapt to a safe color palette.
4. User-centered Design
Web design trends come and go year after year, but one thing remains the same. It is that the design should be centered on the user’s point of view.
The web design should only enhance their experience in navigating through and browsing the pages. Interaction and engagement with the readers are very important keys to make them stay. It’s recommended to have well-patterned designs for consistency and familiarity.
5. Oversized Typography
Just like the first point, limiting decorations in a site will make the more important elements such as the text content and call for action items stand out.
You can use oversized typography to emphasize the design and increase its impact on getting attention. As a replacement for images, this type of graphical element will make wonders in simple ways.
It’s okay to use trendy techniques to beautify your web design. But incorporating evergreen methods is one of the determining factors in reinforcing your company’s image, providing information and highlighting only the important features.
There are many online tutorials and references available for you to be able to blend in artistic works into your website design almost perfectly.

Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in partnership with the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) has unveiled a new Application Programming Interface (API) integration system to allow private firms access company data from the Commission’s database.
Hussaini Ishaq Magaji (SAN), registrar general of CAC, who spoke in Abuja at the unveiling said the system would give selected private organizations access to CAC services through technology-based companies, called “super agents.”
“This is a practical step to show that the Commission is committed to meeting the expectations of our customers,” he said.
Magaji explained that the integration allows the agents to retrieve data from the CAC database for use in specific client requests, outside the standard services provided by the Commission.
“Before now, only a few government agencies had this integration, especially those involved in investigations, anti-money laundering, and terrorism financing. Now, private companies that meet the criteria can also access it,” he said.
He said the system complies with the Nigerian Data Protection Act 2023, and information such as residential addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth may be restricted.
“This is a call to law firms and companies with the right technology. We’ve started with NIPS because of their credibility. Embassies and banks can now authenticate company records directly through them.”
“There are prescribed fees. We already collect them on our portal, and now customers can also pay through these agents,” he explained.
He named NIPS, MoneyPoint, and OPE as some of the companies involved.
“OPE and MoneyPoint handle only registrations. But NIPS has moved further into validation and verification,” he said.
Ngover Ihyembe-Nwankwo, executive director at NIBSS, who represented Premier Oiwoh, managing director, said the service allows secure and efficient data verification.
“This is the result of years of effort to connect our systems with CAC. It will help users verify data within the limits of data protection laws,” she said.
She said the move is a way to lower costs and promote interoperability across the financial sector.

Fifty selected young unemployed Nigerians have completed a four-week intensive digital skills bootcamp under the Digital Literacy for All (DL4ALL) initiative, gaining practical training in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and IT Essentials.
