Q4 E-TECH: Module 10
Layout
- It means that your design should align with a handful of soothing adjectives; it should be simple, familiar, intuitive, clean, and accessible. Use plenty of whitespace (or padding and margins) to give the elements of your site room to breathe, and use grid-based designs to keep design items organized and orderly
Content
Your site visitors and potential customers want information quickly information should be easy to read and digest.
Fonts
Your text should be easily readable, which generally means body copy should be at least 16 pixels. Using a complementary font is ideal for headings or accents, but don't go beyond three typefaces or unnecessary sizing adjustments. Of course, you'll want to make sure there's plenty of contrast between your text and the site's background colors, which generally means a light color paired with a dark tone. Also, avoid that piercing red-font-on-green-background eyesore
