The best websites are easy
to navigate; easy on the eye and contain the necessary information on each
page, preferably without the need to scroll down the page. Contact information
should also be clearly visible.
Consider what you like or
don’t like about sites you’ve visited. Personally, I like it to be clean, yet
catchy, and definitely uncluttered. Avoid moving
gifs, automatic audio or video (give the visitor the choice to listen or view), too many ads and banners, gaudy colours and other rapidly
moving things. Slowly scrolling photos on one side or across the top, are fine
as long they’re not distracting or annoying. Don't use an entrance page whereby you have to click on something in order to enter the site—the link should always take you
straight to the Home page without additional steps.
Black on white is preferable
for easy readability and the colours on the header should match and be
identifiable with your corporate colours. Your business logo should also be prominently
displayed. Information should be short and succinct as readers have a
shorter attention span online and like to get the information they need in a few short
paragraphs.
Each page should reflect the look and layout of the Home page and needs to include the same navigation bar.
