Finding a good web layout follows
certain guidelines for success. While it is not a definitive process of what
will bring traffic to your website, there are approaches you can take that will
put the focus on the content. Content is what you should be more worried about
in the end, but a distracting, ugly layout could deter readers away from your
stories.
Reason.com covers the stories that
have a libertarian skew to them. They have a lot of ideas that are new to many
readers. So their main hope is to explain their viewpoint on the most topics to
the most people. I feel that their homepage delivers this idea and does so with
a neat compact design. The tabs at the top of the page line up with the next line
below. The rotating image in the middle of the page, goes through the top
stories for the day. The side bar on the right gives headlines, driving readers
there, while the left drives readers with images. The entire site fits together
neatly like Lego blocks. They aren’t using the same size blocks throughout, but
they are sure to make it level at the appropriate places.
Possibly not the best example of
form, but the message is strong.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment about the layout. If it is not appealing to the eye then someone would easily move onto the next website.
Good luck!
I’ve never heard of this website so I checked it out. I really like its format. I have used news websites that are really jumbled and hard to navigate. This is not one of them.
