design considerations
•
This methodology is not unique to Web

•
Automobile manufacturers, mapmakers,
book designers, and just about everyone
involved in a design-oriented process
follow a similar progression.

The web …
•
The Web has its own set of cues: image, text,
interaction, organization, motion, and sound.
•
On the Web, "thinking before we speak" means
far more than simply understanding verbal
communication;
•
Thinking about how image, text, organization,
interaction, motion, and sound can work
together to create successful presentations.

Say it in "Web"

The first thing you may ask is, "What am I
looking at? And what does it mean?“

What is my Web site's goal ?
•
Who is my audience

Why are they likely to come to my site ?

How do they communicate ?

Determining Content
•
The majority of Web users come to the Web for
one thing: content.
•
A good way to make sure that you meet your
audience's needs is to provide the content that
they seek.
•
Content included in a Web site should meet the
needs and expectations of your audience. If your
audience does not need the content you are
putting online, why is it there?
