 Don’t Make Me Think Guiding Principles PowerPoint by Matt Murrell

Billboard Design  Page should be visually appealing  Conventions ARE USEFUL!  Use large headlines that pop out at visitor.

Billboard Design (continued)  Distinguish link color from other text.  Website shouldn’t be too busy with information.  Background should be simple and not a distraction Simple background
