Personal Portfolio… • Showcase of your projects from this course. • Should be designed to reflect something about you and your personality!
Include the following… • Splash Page • Home Page/About Me page • Com Tech page • Project Page
Navigation Bars • A set of hyperlinks that give users a way to display pages. • A web site usually contains more than one type of navigation bar.
Top Global Navigation Bar • Contains links to each page on the first and second levels of the web site. • Shouldn’t contain more than 8 links.
Bottom Global Navigation Bar • This bar should only use text links in a small size. • Should contain all links to all of the pages in the web site if possible.
Local Navigation Bar • Can also be positioned under the Global Navigation Bar. • Typically contains links to the child pages of the current page. • Can also contain links to same-level pages.
Breadcrumb Trail/Path • Displays the page names, from the home page to the current page. • Each of the names acts as a link to that page. • It allows the user to easily backtrack through the site.
Links to Home Page • Should always be a link on each page to the home page. • Always located in the breadcrumb trail and in the bottom global navigation bar. • Logo at top of page typically links to home page.
Navigation Structure… • Organization of a web site is called a navigation structure. • Navigation structure for East Side Mario’s has 3 levels of pages.
East Side Mario’s Navigation Structure: Parent and child pages
Design Concepts:Appropriateness • Elements in the web site should match the purpose and target audience.
Design Concepts:Consistency • Page layout should be similar for each page. • User quickly becomes familiar with the site and can navigate easily. • Use consistency in the way you deal with links.
Design Concepts:Usability • Users need to find information that is useful to them. • Avoid wordiness and keep text short. • Allow for seamless navigation.
Design Considerations:Text • Try not to use more than two fonts. • Don’t place text over busy backgrounds. • Don’t centre body copy text. • DON’T USE ALL CAPITALS IN YOUR BODY COPY. IT’S HARD TO READ!
Design Considerations:Colour • Use of “heavy” backgrounds distract the user. • Solid coloured text on solid coloured backgrounds work best. • Limit colour scheme to 3-4 colours. • Keep colour scheme consistent throughout web site.
