A Website is like a billboard, while you're driving past it at
80km/hr.
People glance at
each new page, they scan some text, and keep moving.
They click the first link
that's "close enough" to what they are looking for. They zap.
Therefore, apply the principles that billboard designers use to your
own Website.
Use visual hierarchy to your advantage.
-
Page titles
should be larger than body text.
-
Navigation bars should use a distinct
visual style and be in a clearly defined section of each page.
-
Sub-titles
should break-up your page
-
Text should be
minimal
-
Bullets
guide the eye
-
White
space (empty space) rest your eyes
-
Bold
quickly highlights
-
Everything should be clear, unambigious and
self-explanatory
