PLANNING A HOME PAGE What is the purpose of this Web
page/site? What audience am I trying to reach
and how does this affect my page/site? What information am I trying to
convey? How will I organize the information? What should the home or top page
have on it to attract visitors?
KEEP IT SIMPLE Not everyone has a high
speed link to the internet. Large high resolution graphics take a long time to load.
KEEP THE PAGES SHORT
Large pages of text can take just as long to load as graphics. If you have a lot to say, consider breaking it down into several smaller chunks/portion.
STANDARDIZE YOUR NAVIGATION
- Use a consistent structure and placement for your menus and navigation tools.
MAINTAIN A CONSISTENT LAYOUT/DESIGN
Use horizontal rules to separate sections of the page
It is easier to navigate familiar pages and readers can find what they need more quickly
USE BOLDFACE TO EMPHASIZE A POINT—NOT UNDERLINE OR
ITALICS Underlined text implies a
hyperlink Italics can be difficult to
read Don't overdo emphasizing
or formatting of text1
DO NOT USE ALL CAPS The All Caps style slows
reading time because it doesn't provide the visual cues the reader has been subconsciously trained to expect
The All Caps style is considered visual shouting on the Internet
