The design of a Web site is as critical as the content. Well-designed Web pages
enhance viewers’ experience on the Web site. Well-designed sites assist viewers in
finding information they need quickly and easily through the use of visually
stimulating elements. Ineffectively designed pages, on the other hand, cause viewers
to become bored or frustrated, resulting in few revisits.
Three major principles for effective Web design include the following:
Proximity and Balance
Contrast and Focus
Consistency
Proximity and Balance
Proximity refers to the degree of relationship between items. Highly related items,
such as a title and its following paragraph, should have close proximity. Unrelated
items, such as different sections, should have less proximity. Designers use white
space to indicate the degree of proximity on Web pages. Less white space indicates
close proximity; more white space indicates less proximity1.
Balance refers to the symmetrical placement of elements on a Web page. While a
perfectly balanced Web page is symmetrical, an asymmetrical appearance can be
effective for creating dynamic and vivid Web pages. In either case, all elements
should provide an appropriate level of balance to prevent a very busy area in a
clustered area onscreen with too much quiet area in another part of the screen.

Contrast and Focus
Contrast is the level of visual difference of elements. You are most likely familiar
with the concept of contrast when working with pictures in an image editor. Using
contrasting elements helps guide a viewer’s attention. By using contrasting elements,
designers assist a visitor in skimming the page for interesting information. Designers
create contrast through the use of different colors, text size, bolding, etc.
Focus is created through the use of contrast to draw attention to a particular element
on the page. The focal point should be a critical element, such as an important date or
a heading for a special
sale.
Consistency
Consistency within a Web page and within a Web site provides unity. All design
elements must be consistent to achieve continuity and to solidify an organization’s
image.
To achieve consistency, designers use repetition. That is, they repeat an organization’s
name and logo or trademark, color schemes, typeface selection, borders, and
navigation tools and locations.2

Additional Design Guidelines
Appropriate Background
The background should not distract the viewer from the content on the Web page.
Amateur designers often use bright, colorful backgrounds or distracting patterns. For
example, a small tiled image might be attractive in small doses, but when used as a
background can actually interfere with a viewer’s ability to read foreground text.
Consultants recommend white or black backgrounds for most
sites. In some situations, a Web site might use a very light colored
background or a pale, slightly textured background. To
ensure readability, the designer should view the Web page on several
different monitors using different screen resolutions.3
Effective Color Choices
Along with choosing a background, a designer must choose an appropriate color
scheme that complements the background, supports the purpose of the Web site, and
produces the desired responses from readers.
3 Cheyenne Kinyon, “Color, Background, and Themes: Making Wise Decisions,” Web Guidelines and
Conventions (2015): 166-167.

Before choosing a color scheme, the designer must thoroughly understand the goals
of the Web site—what message the organization wants to convey, and the action
desired from the viewers. For example, because financial institutions are traditionally
conservative, these organizations use more conservative colors, whereas businesses
selling children’s merchandise use bright, vibrant colors.
In addition to choosing colors that support the goals, the designer must understand
how color affects people. For example, red is a vibrant, stimulating color, in contrast
with yellow, which has a relaxing effect. Knowing the different physiological
reactions of colors helps a designer choose appropriate text colors, heading colors, and
background colors.
Color choices need to provide necessary contrast. If color selections are too similar,
contrast is not achieved; therefore, different parts of the pages are not emphasized or
distinguishable. Contrasts such as black text on a white background or white text on a
dark blue background provide excellent contrast. In the image shown below, the color
choice is pleasant, but not overwhelming, with readable text shown in contrasting
colors of white or black. The large expanse of white as a background is not at all
distracting. In fact, it provides an excellent backdrop for the graphics.

Effective Typography
Just as with printed media, the text on a Web site must be error free. Text should
conform to standard spelling, grammar, and mechanics. The main difference between
online text and printed text is the amount of text displayed. While books, newspapers,
and magazines are text intensive, online text is not. People do not want to read text-
intensive Web pages; viewers scan text to find what they are looking for. Therefore,
designers use more concise language on Web pages.
The following list provides general guidelines for displaying text on a Web page:
Element Guideline
Columns Narrow
Headings Hierarchy
Web Pages Several, Small
Text Bulleted Lists
8
In addition to writing concise text and using methods for placing text, the designer
should carefully choose appropriate typography, such as fonts, sizes, and attributes.
Font Faces. As with printed text, online text should use no more than two font faces.
Because Web browsers use fonts stored on individual computer systems, not all
viewers have the same fonts. If a system does not have the font specified by a Web
page, the browser substitutes a different font. The substituted font may be very
difficult or even impossible to read onscreen. Avoid creative fonts (e.g., Chiller),
cursive fonts (e.g., Typo Upright), and typefaces that have minimal (e.g., Antique
Olive) or no descenders (e.g., Hobo). The safest typefaces are Arial, Times, and Times
New Roman.
Font Size and Attributes. To add variety to online text, designers adjust the font size,
using larger size for headings and smaller size for other text. However, font sizes
should be large enough to be easily read. In addition, designers apply bold and italic
attributes to emphasize key words or phrases. Textual hyperlinks are typically
underlined and formatted in a different color.
Graphical and Multimedia Effects
Images are typically included to enhance the visual effectiveness of Web pages. As
with any communication medium, the Web pages must contain relevant images to the
content and not be used to simply decorate the Web page.
Designers should be concerned with image file size because not all viewers have the
fastest

Internet connection or most up-to-date browsers. Images should load relatively
quickly because viewers stop loading Web pages if the load time is too long. GIF
images are typically used for logos and icons, whereas JPEG images are more
appropriate for photographs.
Furthermore, designers should not use too many images on any one particular Web
page. Every image added to a Web page increases the amount of time to load the page.
Therefore, some designers use thumbnails, small images that can be clicked to see a
separate full-sized image, in order to reduce load time.
Other multimedia features might include sound or video clips. Again, load time is of
utmost concern. Because sound and video clips might consume too much time for the
average viewer, these clips should not be set to load automatically. Instead, links can
be included for viewers with faster internet connections and faster processors.

Proximity and Balance Comment by Maina Dulo: This section seems incomplete. Please check and add content.

Unrelated items, such as different sections, should have less proximity. Designers use white space to indicate the degree of proximity on Web pages. Less white space indicates close proximity; more white space indicates less proximity[footnoteRef:1]. [1: Max Rebaza, Effective Websites, Chicago: Windy City
