A good web site will be easy on the eye, easy to navigate through, have good content and have a reason
for visitors to return.
A few years ago, frames were the industry standard. But today, frames are not widely used and are
considered bad form.
A good web site designer will strive to show the entire content on the screen without the user having to
use the scroll bar to read what can't be shown on the screen. But of course, this is not always able to
do. But a good designer should not put too much text on your pages because your visitor will become
confused and not want to stay around to figure out where to go to get the information he/she is looking
at your site for.
A good web site designer will remember who the target audience is and develop the site specially for
that audience.
A navigational menu with too many buttons is not considered good design. If needed, a good designer
will use submenus off the main menu for certain groupings of topics.
On the web, a site map is a structural overview of a site that shows pages generally related by structural
proximity or more appropriately, top similarity. While often the physical and conceptual locations of
pages are directly related, they do not have to be. In this sense, site maps for Web sites are more like
the table of contents for a book, showing the organization of the book and providing a quick reference to
major points of interest, such as chapter or section starts. Just as the table of contents of a book is
invariably in the same place - somewhere close to the front of the book - site maps should be easy to
find. Typically, a site map should be accessible from every page within a site, but generally should not
be a primary navigation choice.
