Site Seeing: Fundamental Particles: the elements of web

- The author talks about having the footer look the same from page to page. This is very important because it allows a sense of consistency to flow through the website. The user looks at the footer and knows what it is just because they have seen it in the exact same spot on every other page.

- Navigation systems. I author stresses how important this is throughout the entire book. I have a basic navigation system that I will be using for major project two.

- You can add visual pertinence to a navigation system by adding a design style to it. This is a good element in attracting the users attention while at the same time visually appealing.

- Placement of a navigation system is extremely important. It normally fits to the side or top of the page. For major project two, my navigation will be on the top of the page, where content can easily be recognized.

- Body text can sometimes be an overlooked element of a web site. It needs to be readable because if it’s not then the user has no idea what you are talking about. So, making the text a standard readable font style and size, allows the user to read it.

- Different issues of typography can be brought up in making web sites. Leading allows for a clean space between paragraph lines of text. It can also be an added visual element.

- Images on a web site tend to attract attention. It can be a good way to get your point across to your audience. In major project two I will be using a coupe different pictures to express what the Campus Compact organization is about.

- Images included in a heading, for example, can be very appealing to a viewer. Its as if the image is involved in what is actually going on the page.

- It is important to keep images small so that the web page doesn’t take long to load. You want your users to experience the fastest load time possible so that they can experience all your web site has to offer.

- Forms can be a good way to generate some feedback from your audience. By putting a simple questionnaire or survey on your website, you can get feedback from users and what they like vs what they don’t like.
