UX, short for user-experience, is how a person feels when using or visiting your blog. To provide a great UX is to have a fast loading site, great design, and an opportunity for engagement. Also, users who find that a blog is giving them a great experience will return and maybe create a blog about it which will then increase your blog’s organic traffic.
While there’s a premium placed on your blog’s SEO performance, you shouldn’t rely solely on optimizing for search engines to get the most out of your blog. Even if you do drive lots of traffic to your blog thanks to your SEO efforts, you won’t be able to convert visitors into customers or subscribers if you don’t provide a seamless way to showcase your content to them.

In fact, a small design tweak can make a world of difference between getting your visitors to stay in your blog, if not convert them into regular visitors!
These things stated should be part of the designing process and the final output of your blog’s design. With so many things you have to take into account, here are some design examples to give you more ideas:
