Web Designing 101 - Amol Patil Krug’s guidelines to good web designing
Disclaimer and Legend I do not mean to offend any person or any site whatsoever. The examples used to criticize are not intentional to any particular site but only used to generalize similar instances. I do understand the amount of time and efforts that goes into web development and it is not at all my intention to insult them. Henceforth, a comment on the design will be written in a cloud like this. *Best viewed in full screen
Designing gone bad! Most important section, Login Area, is hardly visible in this crowd!
Four – O – What!? These two links give a 404 error despite being on the homepage!
My eyes this! Page properly displays all important headlines in large font without any clutter. Very easy to read and find content!
Navigation done the right way! The article navigation bar on the left and the block of text used as <aside>, is perfect for reading and skimming the article
Things that drive me me • Below are a few things Krug’s guidelines say we should not do but a lot of websites do them: • When a website has too many links pointing to the same page but use different title. • Having too many form fields that are totally unnecessary and irrelevant to the context. • Bright color graphics and too many of them with useful information hidden in them.
