Web Design
Designing good websites is not simply a case of throwing a
load of funky graphics at the screen, there are 3 main areas
to considerContent : Content is king. The whole point of the majority of
websites is to provide content, be it text, pictures, mp3s or
whatever to users. When you build a site the first thing you
should consider is the content.Accessibility : There is no point in content if people cant
access it. Furthermore you do not want to limit accessibility
to those people fortunate enough to have the latest browsers
& plugins, with high speed connections and with no special
requirements.Presentation : Presentation has very close connections to
certain areas of the accessibility issue. In particular
good use of colours is important from both viewpoints.

Too many colours makes any site look un-coordinated and messy.
Stick to a few basic colours for text, backgrounds, logos etc
and use different shades of those colours to add depth. Make
sure text colour and background colour are significantly
different to make reading the text nice and easy. Similarly
do not use an array of different fonts, stick to one or two
throughout the site. Serif fonts such as Impact are good for,
surprisingly, making an impact on a visitor whereas sans serif
fonts like verdana are much easier on the eye when reading.
Large blocks of text look very unwelcoming to visitors so try
to avoid them particularly on the homepage, break text into
paragaphs and sections with sub-headers, lists and so forth,
use images where appropriate to give the user a break from reading.
Overview : It is important to note that all three of these
components are vital in creating good sites but the balance
between the three will vary from site to site. Just remember:
Plan the design to fit the content; keep content fresh and
accessible; make the site pleasing to look at and interact with.
