Web Site Cookbook: Page Design and Navigation

Overview Color, layout, and navigation are what usually come to mind when one thinks about web design. With the web server set up and the site-building plan ready to go, the user is surely ready to turn the attention to more artistic pursuits. But the path from site map and mockup to finished web site can't be followed in a blind pursuit of creative freedom. The visual impression the site projects demands careful consideration of the tradeoffs that lie at the intersection of inventive design, user satisfaction, and business needs. This paper explores some of those choices and present solutions that will help the user balance aesthetics with usability.
