The Effective Page Design

To create a web page.... it is important to have an effective page design.

Accessibility is very important while creating a web page.Readers want to navigate quickly through the information to find what is important to them. For extra information, there needs to be email addresses or links available.

To have the ease of knowing where they are on the website and where they need to go is essential.

 The page should be easy to read and error- free. Information should be quick to scan over with short sentences and paragraphs. Facts need to be top of mind while perfecting a web page. Readers do not want to read through a  lot of unneeded information to find what is of importance.

Good graphics is a must. There are readers that look for images rather than the wording. Having recognizable icons, screen elements will help readers remember where they were and where they need to get back to.

We have turned into a hurry up and wait society. We want the answers now, without too much waiting. Accessing the Internet has proven to be the best way to get the information readers want as quickly as possible. With the information placed strategically, precisely and accurately, readers are able to fulfill the hurry part of their lives, so they can wait for something more or less important.
