- Keep It Simple! Ask students “what is the most simple and useful website of the world?”. Answer: Google But there are a lot more
- Keep it professional Google Sites will take care of most of this for you, but… DESIGN a lot has been said about it. This is where it gets tricky: It ’s about your design sensibility – your sense of aesthetics It cannot be taught AND you are NOT a graphic designer or a web designer So here are a few things to keep in mind: Visually appealing Creative and original Clear page goals Easy to access and use Technically sound (no broken links, ‘under construction’ etc.) Provide clear and simple headlines and page titles. Avoid page elements that move constantly. Do not include sounds that play automatically. Minimize scrolling. Never expect users to scroll more than three screen lengths. Keep paragraphs short and page sizes small. Limit image sizes to fewer than 20k each. Avoid overly-busy or multi-colored backgrounds. Leave lots of white space. Limit animations. Use the same font throughout. Stick to universal fonts. Maintain the site and update it regularly.
