Eight Tips For Effective Web Page Design

Each page has a message to engage the reader and build a link from reader to the site’s sponsor.  Effective web page design makes every page functional and increases the usability of each page.

•    Optimize Legibility – Useable web page design utilizes the old standard.  The easiest text to read is black text on a white background.  The more the merrier.
•    Plain Backgrounds – Tone your backgrounds down.  If your web page design calls for background patterns, keep them subtle and only use plain-color backgrounds.
•    Deliver the Text – You know not to use white text.  If the web page design calls for colored text, make sure it is a printable color.
•    ALT Tags Work – ALT keys are easier for the majority of users.  Use them whenever possible and especially on your navigation graphics.
•    Navigate Identically – Your web page design should always place page navigation in the same, consistent location.  Once familiar with the site, the reader’s eye will gravitate to the location.  Duplicate the process for navigation bars.
•    Size It Up – Use vertical scrolling only.  A web page design that scrolls horizontally will discourage readers.  Fit the page properly.
•    Be symmetrical – When text is centered in your web page design, make sure it is balanced. Maintain the integrity of the form throughout the page.
•    Keep ‘em Scrolling – Your web page design should encourage scrolling.  Splitting text and images at the fold will keep the scanner scrolling.

It is natural for designers to get caught up in the message.  Web page design should always have an eye on the user.  What keeps the reader connected is what counts.  Using these eight fundamentals of web page design will get your started.  As you review your web page design, constantly improve the usability.
