Attributes of Effective Websites
After today's group discussion regarding the usability survey and reflection #2 assignments, the following list was generated to cite examples of top characteristics of good website design (based on design, usability and content related issues).
- Clear and straight forward branding /identity
- Use of visual cues for links/buttons
- Consideration in text content (limited in amount, and width span)
- Visual consistency (styles, brand styles, placement of content)
- Each page is content focused (type of content/info serves a strong purpose for each page)
- Layout design is visually clean and to the point
- Content is visually engaging (dominance in color, imagery)
- Limit in amount of information presented at once
- Use of visual hierarchy
- Navigation is consistent and easily accessible
- Strategic organization/categorization in navigation elements
- Fast loading time (optimized media that is small in file size)
- Information should be helpful based on users needs and expectations
- Balanced/harmonious color scheme
