Planning Web Pages

 

It is a good plan to storyboard your web pages on paper before you start.  Make sure that you know what will go on it page.

 

Some design tips:

        Include:

·         Name & city (state)

·         Phone number(s) (include area code)

·         Upcoming events

·         Revision date (and copyright)

·         Feedback form (mailto message)

 

  The viewer should not have to scroll on your home page if possible.

  Avoid putting too much text on any one page.  Split into multiple pages if necessary.

  Avoid excessively bright or dark backgrounds and text colors.  They are difficult to read.

  Check out some web sites that you think are well designed and decide why they look good.

  Avoid frames.

  Avoid animated or blinking graphics and sounds unless they serve a purpose.

  Avoid putting too many graphics on one page.  It slows the load time.

  Check your page on different browsers and different sized monitors

  Be sure the links work (recheck after updating any pages)

  Limit the amount of text per page.  Provide links to new pages rather than putting too much text on one page. Leave white space.

  Left-justify text and center most titles and headers

  Use lists when possible

  People come to a page for content, not glitz
