Layout It is important that your pages are well laid out and not too cluttered. It is also a good idea not to have long pages that need scrolling down. Tables are a good feature for laying out pages.

Colour Colours should be websafe colours and should be chosen carefully so that:websafe They match the companies colour scheme They suit the topic Check that colours go together

Navigation Hyperlinks – Text and Images

Navigation Navigation should be obvious, consistent and easy to use. Links are generally placed at the top or on the left of the page (or both). Long pages can have bookmarks or anchors to link to different parts of the same page.

Choose a font that is easy to read. Arial and Verdana are the most widely used fonts on the web pages because they are both easy to read on a computer screen. Fonts

Download speed Visitors do not want to wait for pages to load; images, videos and Flash animations can cause unacceptable download times. Where you are using images, make sure they are optimised or use thumbnails with links to larger images.
