Principles of Web Design

This lesson asks you to go to a website about web design style. Go to http://www.med.yale.edu/caim/manual/ and look over the site outline. This manual is far to complex to cover in one lesson, so you are asked to read and answer questions about Chapters one and four.

Read Chapter 1 and outline the stages in the process of developing a website.

Read Chapter 4, Interface Design.

• How are Web pages different from pages in a book?
• To what do "who," "what," "when," and "where" refer in terms of web-page design?
• What are the principles of a user-centered design?
• What does accessibility mean in terms of web design?
• What does it mean to "provide context or loose the reader"?

Check out three different websites and compare them to the guidelines in Chapter 4.
