Procedurem5769c71dc7dda5ee_1528446435040_0Procedure

Task 1

Open several websites that you like. Analyze what you like about these pages and what you do not. Then complete the table:

[Table 1]

Discuss the good and bad sites of these website with your colleagues.

When designing a website, it is worth considering some rules for their creation. Below I will present and explain a few rules that are worth following.

Less is more.
”Overloading” a page with graphics can, firstly, distract the Internet user from the main content and will cause difficulty in finding information and secondly, the page will load longer. Can you imagine a situation in which you will find yourself in a building where in all rooms and on all corridors, the doors, walls and windows will be glued with colorful patterned posters? Moving around such an object will be difficult, and when you do not find the door again, you will be angry. Of course, exaggerating the other way is also not recommended. A reasonable proportion must be found. However, it is better to accept the principle that in this case less is more.

Make a clearly visible menu.
Internet user should be able to figure out where to „click” to start moving on your website. Also on the next subpages the menu should always be in the same and visible place, so that the visitors of your website do not have to look for the possibility of moving to further websites.

Use simple, logical navigation and intuitive structure.
Think about how the customer reacts by going into the store, where the products will be arranged in a less logical way. For sure he or she will walk among the bookshelves more and more irritated that it is difficult for him or her to find what he or she is looking for. Perhaps they will get so upset that they will leave without doing any shopping. Similarly, this experience may be compared with a website. After opening the menu, the Internet user should quickly find out what he will find under his button. In developing the proper structure of the website, it is very helpful to take the so‑called „map” of the page, i.e. a graph on which you can visualize the layout of materials and information of your website. You can also look at what layout the „competition” of recognized reputation has taken.

Ensuring correct display in different browsers.
Everyone has their favorite browser. For some, it's Chrome, for others it's Firefox, but for many it will be Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, or something else. Each of the browsers, although interpreting the same code displaying your website, will do it a bit differently. If, when designing your website, you only take into account how your favorite browser is interpreted and displayed, you may find that your website on your friend's computer looks much worse, or you cannot display it at all. When creating a website, it's worth using only code elements accepted by most browsers. After creating a new, next part of the page it will be good to check how it will be displayed on different browsers and in case of problems, check which piece of code (or which line of code) can be incompatible and try to find a different solution.

Make sure that the page displayed on different devices is legible and easy to read.
This is technically called the assurance of website responsiveness. It is now very important, because smartphones have become devices on which websites are displayed very often and this trend is growing all the time. At the same time, due to much smaller size and completely different aspect ratio of the smartphone screen, the page displayed on the computer and on the smartphone should have a different layout and navigation.

Task 3

Click on the numbers on the screen, and you will see additional rules to be followed when designing websites.

Task 3

Create a checklistchecklistchecklist that you will be able to complete by viewing the pages from the previous task.

A checklist is a list where important points are placed; it must be checked to confirm that the website meets all of them.

Before you start creating a website, first think about what information you want to place on it. List all the things which should be on the menu. Remember that a good website should not have too much text, be too colorful and contain too much graphics. Consider using a template when designing your own website.m5769c71dc7dda5ee_1527752263647_0Before you start creating a website, first think about what information you want to place on it.
