Before starting the topic, I want to tell you why the dark theme is essential on your website. Dark mode has become popular in the last 3–5 years as companies began to roll out these modes to make night users and those with bright screens benefit. You know dark mode is everywhere in ios, android, windows, etc.. If it is everywhere it doesn’t mean you should have one then why it is important. suppose if some user visits your website at night time for reading an article the lighter colors will make the user’s eyes strain. so, I think the dark mode is an essential feature for every website.
Here are the benefits of using a dark theme:
- Improved Readability of Text
- Better Contrast
- Reduced Eye Fatigue
- Less Flicker (if existing issues)
- Less Blue Light
- Less Prone to Triggering Photophobia
- Can Save Small Amounts of Electric
