The 10 commandments of Webdesign

Rating 4.00 out of 5

from cyberdesignz.com

  1. Know the purpose and goals of a website before starting to design, perhaps the audience.
  2. Plan the website layout according to the client’s perspective and interaction.
  3. Choose colors and color combination very carefully, go for browser safe colors.
  4. Keep the font style and size consistent throughout the website, maintain typography.
  5. Keep navigation and menu structure simple and clear, properly organized with sub-menus if any.
  6. Websites main header is the first impression, so make it stand out. Speak a bit louder.
  7. Divide content into sections and paragraphs using headings and bullets. This increases the content’s readability and impression.
  8. Use interesting images that compliment the website and integrate with its whole theme. Induce call to action.
  9. Each page of the website should have appropriate title and Meta tags to help rank well in search engines.
  10. Search box option is a must to help user find relevant information on the website.

Happy clicking, VIA

Can you see the button

Rating 3.00 out of 5
A new tool by Google tries to help you to optimize your design.

How many times have you come to a website, where you want to buy, order, download or just find something, but you don’t see it right away. A sign of designers using their wonderful large (read humungous)  screens, not thinking of netbook users, or just regular 15″ screen users. Simple, yet terribly useful tool to check out how your design will work in the real world.

Very nice interface. A little experimental but stays nicely on the side of usability.
