Best Practice of Web Design
- Clear, consistent navigation
- Consistent use of shapes
- Imagery that compliments message of site, does not distract
- Use of correct text with keyword content
- Do not make user guess or wait
- Color scheme that is consistent (or not) to direct attention
User Experience
- Make your site easy to find - Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Address and phone on ALL pages
- Large video or other large resources belong on secondary pages
- Graphics (images) that capture the eye and help to tell the story
- How does you site flow?
- Monitor size and color calibration
- Browser issues
- Need contact page including google other mapping page
- Make sure page is mobile friendly
- Update site frequently and make the information on website relevant and current
Classic Design (Print) vs. Web Design
- Print - more detail, more text
- Print - eye travels across the page differently than on web
- Print - more time to study/read content
- Web - images push the ideas
- Web - text enhances the idea
- Web - Down loadable files/secondary pages carry the content
- Colors on Websites: use primary colors and complimentary colors
- Yellow is not a good website color
- Use colors that convey the idea of the website (earth tones for earthy products, blue for water, orange for food, etc.)
- Color Wheel
