10 Of The Best eBook Design Tips Every Designer Should Know!

By Kieren Moran

If you are looking to increase the number of conversions that you can garner in the sales of your eBooks, then there are a number of eBook design elements that you need to be sure to implement. Your eBook cover design is one of the most important elements of your eBook, because not only does it indicate to potential readers what your book is all about, but it also gives them an indication of how professional your eBook really is.

Good eBook design also needs to occur within your eBook, because your eBook should be easy to read and professional in all ways.

Effective eBook Cover Design

Three core values that your ebook cover design should present include a high degree of professionalism, enhancement in the viewer's level of perceived value, and an artistic and presentable appearance.

To keep the ebook design visually enticing, you should make sure that the font style and sizes of text used in it are very clear and easy to read, even when the ebook cover design has been downsized. You'll also need to search out appropriate images which you can use in conjunction with the concept of the ebook design. If you're the ebook creator, you should also make sure that the final ebook design does not look too cluttered in appearance. It is not advisable to race into creating your ebook cover design without first considering these vital design points.

Readers will be much more inclined to trust your ebook content when you have used a visually attractive and authoritative ebook cover design. If they believe this about your ebook, and the information inside is written well, you will certainly attract many more sales and conversions for the product indefinitely.

eBook Design

The inside eBook design on the other hand has a different set of requirements. You should include images in your eBook design, but they should be proportionate to the written content rather than overwhelming it.

You should only choose a couple of primary colors in terms of fonts, because readability is extremely important when creating an eBook design that promotes better conversion rates.

To save you ebook reader from the trouble of scanning for pages and sections manually, it is recommended that you make your table of contents clickable and easy to navigate with related page numbers displayed clearly.

Your ebook design should be viewed both in printed format AND on the computer screen to ensure that it is very easy to read in each case. Many people don't like to read a whole ebook from their computer screen, so you need to make sure that the font colors, styles and sizes are all suitable for whatever method of reading you customers choose.

While images shouldn't be placed on every page of your ebook layout, you should try to have only around 300 words per page which will allow for assorted images and chapter titles to be placed wherever necessary.

If you have any ebook layout concerns when creating your next ebook design it is often good practice to see what a part of it looks like when printed out. Seeing the design on paper will give you a new perspective and help you to make any needed improvements.

Having a well designed ebook will often help you attract higher conversion rates and sales online. If it is easy to tell that you have put much time and energy into your ebook then your customers will appreciate your efforts... leading to them telling others about your attractive and helpful ebook.
