Space to breath
People don’t read websites, they scan them to look for information they deem relevant. Each piece of information and imagery needs to be carefully selected. Each piece of information needs its own space to breathe for the user to be able to quickly digest what it is and either stop to learn more or move on.
Visual appeal
Remember what we know about the brain and imagery. We need to use visuals including images and graphics to support the content being displayed to allow for shortcutting and quicker digestions. The right image can grab attention, set a mood and draw the user in.
Format content
If we know that people scan websites, what can we do to make scanning quicker and easier. One of the most effective ways is to format the text. Highlight keywords, / Use meaningful (not clever) headings and sub-heading / Use bulleted lists / Communicate one idea per paragraph / Be efficient with words and remove unnecessary text
Intuitive & Familiar
Don’t try to reinvent the wheel through navigation or any other element of your website. Users expect certain things, like an easily accessible menu at the top or a large hero image on the home page. Designers want to do thingsvdifferently, but let someone else prove a new way. Until then,give your user what they expect
Efficient
Be efficient with the words you use. Remember that most people don’t read websites, they skim. If you can say the same thing in 10 words instead of 20, then do it and ruthlessly trim until you are as simple as possible but no simpler.
