Design Issues
Issues:
- Attractive web pages can be important
- But HTML defines structure
- Images are (over) used for design purposes
- This is slow, and causes accessibility problems
- Proprietary HTML extensions but reduce accessibility
- Technologies such as animation, frames, etc are controversial
- Web design is a new skill (cf DTP in early 1980s)
Egoless Design
- Prepare a checklist of good and web design points
- Produce a list of websites similar to your own
- Ask your colleagues to view the sites and give comments on the checklist)
- Produce a design specification based on the feedback
