Web Design Guidelines
It's all good information below, it's
up to you how far you want to take it. These are like
the commandments.
-
Text
Background does not interrupt the text
Text is big enough to read, but not too big
The hierarchy of information is perfectly clear
Columns of text are narrower than in a book to make
reading easier on the screen
-
Navigation
Navigation buttons and bars are easy to understand
and use
Navigation is consistent throughout web site
Navigation buttons and bars provide the visitor with
a clue as to where they are, what page of the site
they are currently on
Frames, if used, are not obtrusive
A large site has an index or site map
-
Links
Link colors coordinate with page colors
Links are underlined so they are instantly clear to
the visitor
-
Graphics
Buttons are not big and dorky
Every graphic has an alt label
Every graphic link has a matching text link
Graphics and backgrounds use browser-safe colors
Animated graphics turn off by themselves
-
General Design
Pages download quickly
First page and home page fit into 640 x 460 pixel
space
All pages have the immediate visual impact within
640 x 460 pixels
Good use of graphic elements (photos, subheads, pull
quotes) to break up large areas of text
Every web page in the site looks like it belongs to
the same site; there are repetitive elements that
carry throughout the pages
