| The
fundamental organizing principle in Web site design
is meeting users' needs. |
| |
| Concepts
about structuring information today stem largely from
the organization of printed books and periodicals and
the library indexing and catalog systems that developed
around printed information. |
| |
| World
Wide Web pages differ from books and other documents
in one crucial respect: hypertext links allow users
to access a single Web page with no preamble. For this
reason Web pages need to be more independent than pages
in a book. For example, the headers and footers of Web
pages should be more informative and elaborate than
those on printed pages. |
| |
|
The goal is to provide for the
needs of all your potential users |

The primary task of graphic design
is to create a strong, consistent visual hierarchy in
which important elements are emphasized and content
is organized logically and predictably. |
|
Graphic design is visual information
management, using the tools of page layout, typography,
and illustration to lead the reader's eye through the
page. Readers first see pages as large masses of shape
and color, with foreground elements contrasting against
the background field. Secondarily they begin to pick
out specific information, first from graphics if they
are present, and only then do they start parsing the
harder medium of text and begin to read individual words
and phrases: |

Usually, the sub pages are not custom designed
intensively. The sub pages carry
color and font theme similar to home page.
Where possible werecommend Home page header
to be displayed on sub pages. |

Having
said that, we do recommend few
custom designed sub pages this
not only enhances the design
value but puts the website to
a unique slot as very few websites
have custom designed sub pages.
We strongly recommend the
ABOUT US page to be custom
designed. The sub page designing
is not as elaborate as Home
page but carry more design elements
than a regular sub pages which
are like template |

For
clients who want to start with smaller budgets,
ready templates are an option. Internet is full
of shops giving away free and paid templates.
We would not recommend free templates as they
are mostly poorly designed. However some very
attractive templates are available in paid category.
Template is a good option if you can live with
a design which is used by many and is not unique.
This may not be good for your companies’ image
and credibility. |
