Easy to ReadEasy to Read
If background colors or images are used, the
text on top of the background should be in a
color that can easily be seen. Use a color
scheme that complements and is pleasing to
the eye. White space between images and
sections of text make a page easier to view.

Quick to downloadQuick to download
Graphics and sounds add download time to a Web
page. Use them sparingly. Don't make your
visitors wait too long for your site to download or
they will click away and probably won't return. It
is a good idea to find out what the approximate
download times are for people who are using 28K
and 56K telephone modems. Not everyone has DSL
or cable Internet.

if they find new and interesting material. Post
articles on your site, offer a newly updated
"Internet Special" or provide fresh, helpful
links. All these things cause visitors to

Keep your Target Audience in mindKeep your Target Audience in mind
Think about the people who would be
interested in visiting your Web site. If you
are designing a web site about razor blades
and shaving cream for men, the site should
have a masculine feel to it. Decorating the
page with pink hearts and roses would not
be a good idea!
