Your visitors should be able to find what they need quickly.
Use clear navigation. Limit your main menu to 4–6 key items. Use labels like “About” or “Projects” that make sense to your audience.
Follow a logical structure. Group related pages together. If a page is important, don’t bury it deep in the site.
Include a homepage that sets the tone. This should introduce who you are, what the site is for, and what someone can do or find there.
Use headings to organize content. Break long text into sections using headers. This helps both people and search engines understand your content.
A clean, simple design makes a site more effective.
Use a consistent layout. Keep fonts, colors, and spacing the same across all pages.
Stick to 2–3 main colors and 1–2 fonts. Too many design elements can overwhelm the viewer.
Use white space. Don’t crowd the page. Giving content room to breathe improves focus and readability.
Choose accessible font sizes. Body text should be at least 16px so it’s easy to read on all screens.
Use good contrast. Light text on a light background (or vice versa) is hard to read.
Web content still needs to follow research and accessibility standards.
Cite your sources. If you’re using someone else’s image or quote give proper credit.
Use legal images. Stick to media that’s public domain or your own work.
Add alt text to images. This is a short text description that screen readers use. It helps make your site more accessible.
