Good Web Pages
- are well organized and easy to use
- serve the needs of some audience and are designed with that
audience in mind
- contain valuable content
- are attractive
- use white space to enhance the readability and appearance
of the page
- are up-to-date: information is current
and all the links work
- use graphics to compliment the text
- include contact information, such as an e-mail link to the
author
- do not require users to sift through layer after layer before
they access useful information
- make sparing use of flashy items (such as blinking text,
animated icons, movies, sound files, etc.)
- have text that is readable (size & color
factor in here)
- are consistent in their design (if multiple pages are used)
Bad Web Pages
- use colors which render them illegible
- contain links that have expired
- do not identify their authors
- try to put ALL of the information on a single
page or bury all
the information under numerous menus
-
- leave the user wondering what
the purpose was
-
have misleading or inadequate
titles/headings/links
- contain old information
- are unattractive
- lack a logical organization
- have typos
- break copyright or plagiarize the materials
of others
