A super cool presentation

What makes a good website good?

Layout• C

olour scheme – should be only a few colours (apparently around three) and easy on the eyes.

• Alignment – the sections, images and textboxes on the site should be

aligned properly. It’s hard to look at wonky things.• S

ize of the sections and pages should be a reasonable size. Not too big. You shouldn’t have to scroll for ages to get to the bottom of the page.

• Logos and images shouldn’t either be too small or too big.

• Text and images should not overlap.

• Distance between images so they’re not too close together, no blue outlines.

• No flashing images or GIFs (pronounced GIF not JIF, thanks.)

Layout – the continued saga: clarity.Don’t have too many flashy things.

Keep on topic. Don’t ramble on about unrelated things.

Navigation• M

enus should be easy to read.• U

ser-friendly.• A

ttractive.• S

houldn’t be cluttered.• M

enus labeled clearly.• O

ne navigation menu throughout the whole site, so consistent navigation.• P

age should not take too long to load.

So keep image file sizes down.• N

ormal mouse, and no moo-ing.

Text• L

inks should not be blue and you should only underline a word if it is a link or people will get confused.

• Fonts should be easy to read.

• Not too many fonts. No clusters of fonts.

• T

ext should not be obnoxiously big or microscopically small.

• The colour of text should not clash with the background, and there

probably shouldn’t be too many different text colours.• D

O NOT USE COMIC SANS. • D

on’t centre your text.
