Appearance
Appearance is everything. There are a couple considerations when constructing a site or article for the web: consistent navigation, and attractive coloration.
- Consistent navigation consists of internal links. Some appear as a group of choices at the top of the page. Others are presented as navigation menus on the left or right.
- "No Clown Pants." - Dr. Lucas
- Clowns can almost always be found at the circus. Their boisterous outfits are perfect there, but would be appalling for anyone to wear to a business meeting or a work function. Endless pok-a-dots and clearly mismatched, supremely bright colors are not acceptable attire in most situations. The same is true for web content. If a site is overloaded with unmatched or overly aggressive coloration, there is a high possibility users will only glance and move on. The goal is making content not only relevant but also creating a page that is inviting on first thing.
Professionalism
Professionalism is the main source of credibility.
- Subheads give users an opportunity to preview content.
- 3 Seconds is all one gets.
- Credibility is created through external links and support.
