Design, Layout & Graphics
|
- First page impression
- The first page we visit should be interesting
enough to make visitors want to look further into
your site.
- The first page should make clear what you have to
offer and that your site is of interest to the general
public.
- Once we pass the entrance page, clear navigation
to all other pages on your site must be present.
- Design and origin
- Originality and creativity of design is a plus
if the applicant is the designer.
- The design should reflect part of what you and your
site are all about. Let your graphics reflect the
theme of your site.
- If you use graphics or design templates from others,
then you must give credit for the graphics and/or
design.
- Design should have consistency in background, graphics,
menus, navigation symbols and layout.
- It's okay for the design to be simple, as long as
it is effective in the presentation.
- Load time of your
pages
- The loading time of a site should be under one
minute when using a 128k connection.
- We prefer streaming to waiting.
- Site should not be full of useless graphics that
slow down the loading time. Make sure your graphics
are necessary.
- Background Music
must have a Turn-Off option.
- The ON-OFF button must be added when using background
music.
- Make it easy for us to get to the ON/OFF button.
It is preferable that the ON/OFF button be at the
top of the page.
- Artistic sense
of Webmaster
- Writers, poets, artists and photographers should
show creativity and originality.
- If writings, poetry, artwork or photographs are
not your own, then you should have the writer's, poet's,
artist's or photographer's name and/or permission.
