Website Design Slideshow & Critique
When you view a web site, you encounter more than words and information. Most sites are designed to catch your eye and hold your attention, as well as to inform you.
Designing a good web site relies on the Elements and Principles of Design.
Visual design focuses on the aesthetics of a site and its related materials by strategically implementing: images, graphics, logos, colors, fonts, and other elements. A successful visual design does not take away from the content on the page or function. Instead, it enhances it by engaging users and helping to build trust and interest in the material.
