TIP 1. Add a strong banner to your page, and
a home button graphic at the top left-hand side.
TIP 2. Provide a horizontal menu with quick
jumps. Do not create pull-down menu options from these,
as most users dislike this approach.
See above
The page is okay, and the menu system on the right hand
side is useful (as it is a drop down menu system), but it
looks a bit messy. So let's tidy up the menu system, and
organise the information on the areas into small rectangular
text boxes:
TIP 3. Provide graphical elements for the
page, but do not make them too large. In the past
graphical elements were used in place of text, but
improved text layout has helped improve the quality
of text. There is no real substitute for text within
a graphic.
TIP 4. Provide a limiting of the menu options
by inserting the menu elements into a table which
has the default cell spacing. The change the colour
of the table cells so that it contrasts against the
background colour of the table.
TIP 5. Use SWF output to produce crisp graphics,
and set the background colour of the Flash content
to match the background colour of the WWW page.
TIP 6. Contrast your site with a dark colour
with light text, and vice-versa. Normally if the background
is dark, you will need to make the text bold, so that
it can stand out from the background.
