Elements of Good Design: Good navigation, clear and efficient websites, working links, and, most importantly, good grammar and spelling are the most important elements of web design. When you add color and graphics, keep these things in mind and your website will be off to a great start.
How to Layout a Web Page: Many people believe that a web page's layout is the design, and it is in many ways. The layout is the manner in which the elements are placed on the page, the basis for images, text, navigation, etc.
Fonts and Typography: This is a critical element since vast volumes of text are used in most web pages. You need to think about how the text looks on a micro-level (font glyphs, font kin, etc.) as well as on a macro-level when you think about design.
Your Website's Color Scheme: Every website has a color scheme if you think about it. It contributes to the site's brand identity and flows into each page as well as other marketing materials. In any style, choosing the color scheme is a critical move and should be carefully considered.
Adding Graphics and Images: The fun part of creating web pages is graphics. The internet is a very visual tool and can really add to your user experience with eye-catching images and graphics. Search engines have a hard time telling what an image is about, unlike text, unless you give them the data. For that purpose, to include that essential information, designers may use IMG tag attributes such as the ALT tag.
Don't Discount Navigation: Navigation is how your visitors get from one page to another. It offers movement and gives visitors the ability to explore other elements of your web. You need to make sure your website's layout (the architecture of information) makes sense. In order for visitors not to rely on the search feature, it also needs to be extremely easy to locate and learn.
