Top 10 rules for website design

Hello everyone, this week we are going to be looking at the top ten rules for website design. I am currently in the process of creating my own website in my Communication Technologies class. I hope this post helps others who are in the process of designing a website. I have compiled a list using multiple sources.

1. Consistency is key.
2. Simple is beautiful.
3. Navigation should be intuitive, a good website should be easy to navigate.
4. A good website should be easy to navigate.
5. Include a Contact Us page.
6. Page titles should be simple, descriptive and unique.
7. Design for the reader.
8. Homepage should illustrate top priorities and variety.
9. Colors are crucial.
10. Eliminate Clutter
