Web Page Design Considerations

bullet Do not overload your web page with graphics. Web pages with many graphics take along time to load.

bullet Organize your documents for quick scanning by using headlines to summarize topics.

bullet Do not put too much information on one page. If a page is getting large split it into separate pages.

bullet If your web page contains more than one document, make sure it is easy to navigate. You can do this by putting a table of contents at the beginning or at the end of each document.

bullet Be sure to provide your e-mail address in a hypertext and/or graphical link. This will enable people to get back to you with comments and suggestions on how to improve your page.

bullet Try to make your site readable for as many people as possible, including those with text-based browsers, older browser, slow modems and speed of the computer.

bullet Design for the user; occasionally letting the user test out the product and design your site for first time user (proper navigation and links)

bullet Remember more is not always better

bullet Consider platform capability (Macintosh, Windows)
