Conclusions about Web Site Design – Rich and Jenna’s thoughts and ideas

 Curious minds suggests:

  1. Clarity – within seconds of visiting a site, the user should be able to tell what services and goods the web site has to offer.
  2. Identity – creating a strong identity, which users will remember in the future.
  3. Useability – users can access the site without any errors, as well as download time being quick.

Robin Williams suggests:

  • Pages download quickly on both dial up and broad band to ensure the users stays within the site.
  • Every web page in the site looks like it belongs to that site, this is done through using a specific design which is repeated throughtout each page. The design can intail a certain font for title and main text, a specific colour scheme and a logical layout.
  • First page and home page fit into 640 x 460 pixel space.
  • Background does not interrupt the text so the user can take in the information provided.

We believe:

  • Good layout with logical navigation to allow the user to view the web site with ease.
  • All internal & external links work and are underlined so the user is able to recognise these features.
  • Easy access to the web site without any errors.
  • Effective use of colours which work well together and are suited to the intended auidence.

Poor website:www.webpagesthatsuck.com comments that the popes website is bad due to the 95 images that have to upload and we agree:http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/special_features/hf_jp_ii_xxv_en.htm
