Good Web Design

Useful information about: good web design and navigation; information architecture; and search engine optimization.

Make sure every web page you create has:

• an identifying header consistent with other pages on the site; 
• navigation aids (bar, tabs, etc.);
• location information (bread crumbs);
• an informative title (which becomes the text of any bookmark to the page);
• the creator's identity (author or institution)
• a list of links to various sections of the article;
• heads and subheads every several paragraphs;
• text written in chunks of information;
• lots of links to local pages within the site and links to other sites on the web;
• information or a link to information about the author;
• a creation or revision date;
• a direct link to the website editor or webmaster;
• a mechanism that allows the viewer to give feedback.
