Interface Design.

I thought id do this website for the oldies, as they haven’t used the internet much, thought I would help them out with some basic information on interface design.

I thought I would set the site out so, they can understand and use it abit better, for example larger text things not so cluttered

Overall site, should be relaxed, well set out and not to cluttered

Different colour on each page.

Helpful Tips

Just afew helpful tips for creating a website.

1. NO CLUTTERING-Don’t put information and pictures to close to one another. Makes the page look cluttered, and hard to get to when so many things are just all over the place.

2. Basic Text People-Use text which is readable, don’t go overboard in trying to find a certain text, make sure people can read what is written.

3. MENU NOT HIDING AWAY FROM THE WORLD-Make sure the Menu is always easy to find, and easy to use, Bold and with icons to help out the people that may not be able to read, or someone from another country.

4. Always use colours that contrast with one another. So when you have a certain colour for the background, make sure the writing is easily readable with that certain colour.Bad example black background and red writing, it so hard to see.

5. NOT EVERYONE IS YOUNG-Not everyone will no exactly what to do, giving hints to where something might be. And make sure the most important information is accessible from the homepage

Examples

Client: Alexis Manolis
Designer: Abdul Altun
Brief:

I want my website to be for elderly people:
- Easy to navigate, doesn’t take to long to get used to.
- Can be navigated by a person who has limited computer skills.
- Once Navigating away from the home page, it’s easy to get back to it.
- I don’t want things crammed up and messy things, needs to be spread out and easy to look at and read.
- Use colours that are gentle and warm, as it is for older people
- Different colour each page
- Include pictures on every page, relating to the text
- Each Topic should Stand out and easy for the person to find there way.
- Make sure all links a relevant to the topic.
- The site should have a friendly and relaxed feeling to it.

COMMUNICATION PLAN
- Client and designer to have one initial meeting to discuss the project, another meeting for the designer to present initial sketches, and then meet once a week throughout the rest of the length of the website development.
- Website design to be made in Photoshop, and only to be assembled in Dreamweaver once client and designer have both “signed off” on the final design.
- Dates: - Brief exchanged March 10th
- Initial sketches presented March 24th
- Final product delivered April 21st
