Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Step1
Design a page that is pleasing to the eye. Write a simple title with large fonts at the top of the page. You want something eye-catching that is easy for people to remember. Center the title. Organizational structure is as important as the text.
Step2
Break your page into sections using your web design software. Microsoft FrontPage has web templates and frames that divide your page into separate sections. This makes the data easy to manage and easy to read. Typical pages are divided into 3 sections. The top piece has the title. You can then have a section or bar on the left or right of the page with your buttons or links. The remaining part of the page holds your text and graphics.
Step3
Leave white space between groups of text. People find it easier to read when paragraphs and charts are broken into groups with white areas between each section. Use headings at the beginning of each new paragraph.
Step4
Use lists, charts and graphics on your page. Lists are easy to read. Users can skim the list for answers. People also find charts easy to use. Graphics often show information better than words. Make sure your graphics aren't too large, or readers may become frustrated waiting for a page to load.
Step5
Create buttons on the top, left or right side of your page. Each button is a link to another page. You may have a "Contact Us" button that takes the reader to your contact information.
Step6
Place links to other pages in blocks of text. Your reader can click on a link to find more information about the topic. Readers who just want a general overview can just read the main page and glide over the links.
Step7
Use fonts that are attractive and easy to read. If you use fancy fonts, readers might not be able to read them with their browser. Use common fonts like Times New Roman or Arial. Use large bold fonts for titles.
Step8
Keep your pages simple yet appealing. Readers want simple interesting text on organized pages. They don't need fancy web pages that take too long to read.
