Next you should create a
storyboard, basically a drawing, that shows what the general look of
pages in your web site will be. Your storyboard should include information
on:
- Navigation - Where
are the navigation buttons/ links? Are they easy to see? Are they
consistantly place (in the same place on every page)?
- Layout - Does all
important information fit on the screen without scrolling? Is the
most important information in the center of the screen? Is there plenty
of 'white space'?
- Colors - Are the
colors appropriate for color blind users? Is there high contrast between
the foreground and background colors?
- Font
- Did you choose a san serif font?
- Images - Do all
images contribute meaningfully to the page?
- General
- Is the page easy to read? Is the text short and to the point? Is
contact information included? Did you include a last updated date?
Here is a sample storyboard:
