Kathleen Sickler's Web Design Project

The use of graphics and animation in Web pages can be pleasing to the eye and will give your pages an interesting look. This will catch the attention of your viewers. Once you have their attention, the content of your site should hold them while you make your beginning point. This will lead them to the rest of what you have to offer. You must plan your Home page to hold interest and lead to other pages on your site. Graphics, especially well chosen animated graphics, can help you to accomplish this. Well chosen is stated because many graphics are byte heavy (large file size) and it will take longer for the pages to load.

A well-designed site applies to all of the key concepts of excellent graphics, layout and style. Experience in graphic design contributes to a full awareness of how to use colors well, how to design for visual contrast and focus, and how best to produce Web pages that are highly readable, uncluttered, and visually appealing.
