Forced Media
Forced media is described as content that the user is subjected to and cannot change until an ulterior option is chosen.
Flow Charts
The flow chart is the key aspect of any website design. The flow chart of any site should display all category and sub categories and show all potential links.
Structure
It is important to remember that individual pages have the opportunity to be viewed out of their original context. So for this reason pages should be clearly marked and have a consistent style. Websites should be considered to be a 3-D document. Even though its viewed within the context of a computer screen.
Development
Remember that a website is constantly in a state of flux.
Navigation and Navigational Aids
This should be carefully thought through, clear, logical and appropriate for the end user(s).
Consistency
Aesthetic, Client and User
The website should answer the brief in terms of aims and objectives.
Initial Impressions
Initial impressions count. Remember this!
Future Planning and Proofing
Websites are non-static and should constantly adapt and evolve to reflect current needs.
Four basic steps in organising information
Divide it into logical units.
Establish a hierarchy of importance and generality
Use the hierarchy to structure relationships among sections of information.
Then analyse the functional and aesthetic success of your design system.
Finally it is important to define who will be using the site most often and for what reason. This is most effectively achieved by answering the five key questions: WHO, WHAT, WHY, WHERE and WHEN?
