WEB PAGE BASICS

• Web pages are non-linear.
• Make it easy to get from one part of the site to another.
• Use menus so learners can get to any other page from the page they are on.
• Each page should stand-alone. Pages can and will be accessed in any order you can imagine.
• Pages should be attractive and consistent.
• Pages should not have too much text and /or two many graphics. Graphics need to be useful or they add to download time.
• It is better to add a page than to have too much information. Determine what is important information and trash the rest.
• Use a consistent design theme for main sections. Themes help learners see how the site works without overload.
• All unit pages should operate the same way.
• Make instructions clear. Assume learners won't read every page.
• Provide contact information e-mail link.
