Have a plan for your website
You should have the layout of your pages planned, the website graphics and photographs ready to go, and the content determined. You know what order the pages will appear and how they will be linked...in other words, the navigation of your site. Make special note of the following :
- Header elements such as a logo or title - these do not have to be the same size on all the pages, but should be the same design .
- Common recognizable clues such as colored bullets and the same color and style of links .
- Footer elements such as copyright and contact persons e-mail address .
- A common graphics style - that is, don't use cartoon style images with photographic-quality graphics. Both are fine separately, but not together .
- Margins for balance of the page just as you find in a book (i.e. white space)
