Here’s another link for you geeks out there — particularly if you’re trying to design a user-friendly real estate web page that appeals to consumers. While a bare-bones, data driven site might get the job done — in my opinion, good web design is essential to stand out from the competition. So, how do you design a web page? According to PSDtuts, there are 9 principles for good web design.
- Precedence (guiding the eye)
- Spacing
- Navigation
- Design to Build
- Typography
- Usability
- Alignment
- Clarity (sharpness)
- Consistency
Make sure to head to PSDTuts for all the details. For the graphic designers reading, these principles might have been common knowledge — but my hunch is that the majority of GeekEstate readers are not graphic designers.
- Stumble it!
