points to consider:

  • Logo  Smart use of your logo enhances visibility and identity and can play a strong role in repeat business.
  • Colours  A carefully chosen and well-used set of colours gives consistency to a site and aids navigation.
  • Images  Images should be sized for typical screen resolutions.
  • Layout  Reading a web page is not like reading a book. Layout should reflect this and make use of the medium's flexibility.

softcoded believes that a simple, uncluttered look creates a website with lasting impact.

Web pages offer numerous advantages over other media. "Hotspots" allow for easy navigation to other pages. Sites can be made interactive by using mouseover effects. However, there are also some design constraints. For example, to get maximum benefit from your site, accessibile and easy navigation is very important. This may restrict the placement of hyperlinks.

For reasons such as this, a proper understanding of the medium is essential, especially at the design stage.
