It's not a complete ABC, but here's a few handy hints when designing your website!
-
3 Clicks Rule – In most cases, it should take a maximum of 3
clicks for a user to find what they want!
- Colours - Use dark fonts on light background, and don’t
overuse colours – 1 or 2 main, with a few highlights
- Consistent Style – Keep your page layout, images, navigation
and content consistent across your entire website
- Content - Place content prominently, use large enough font
sizes for readability, and allow your users to click, not scroll, by having
two pages of scrolling content at most
- Fonts - Use standard and readable fonts
- Graphics and Images - don’t overuse them, keep them relevant
to your user, and optimise them for file size
- Navigation - Keep it consistent, use standard language (e.g.
“Home Page”), label where the user is on the website
- Speed - Ensure your website works quickly for the user
