Web Design
Though visual appeal is nearly always influenced to some degree by personal
preference, common sense plays a large role in effective web design. Keep
things simple...easy to use, maintain and navigate, and follow some basic
guidelines and your website will shine.
- The purpose of the site must be immediately clear.
- Keep the page layout, navigation and use of color, fonts and imagery
consistent throughout the website.
- Only use a moderate number of colors. A distracted user will not stay
long.
- Make sure the design is appropriate for your audience.
- Design it so the user's eyes are directed to the content or important
page elements.
- Place the navigation in the same location on all pages.
- Clearly label links and make their destination obvious.
- Do not make your website visitor look too hard for information. Make
it easy for them and they will return.
- No spelling, grammar or typos at all!
- Use heading, short sentences, short paragraphs, and bulleted
lists to the content can be easily scanned.
- Overall web design goals: simple, clear, consistent, appealing and
usable.
