Human Computer Interaction:
Every day more and more people using the internet and the number of online shopper increase
Dramatically. As a web develops people expecting more and more from different websites.
To attract this user the website should be easy to navigate, attractive and easy to use.
To make a website attractive and easy to use web designer need to be aware of general principle of Human computer interaction. (Darlington, 2005)
“HCI involves the design, implementation and evaluation of interactive systems in the context of the user’s task and work” (Dix, 2004), p4).
A well-designed User Interface can be the difference between a products being accepted by the end-user or the system being rejected as a whole. If the user does

Other important aspect of the system is to ensure that the user(s) can distinguish between what can be chosen or clicked in order to navigate to another page or do something. The use of visual picture use as a link within the website should be kept consistent in order to ensure the user(s) do not get confused or distracted with regards to an image being a link or just for show purpose.
It is better when is get to designing the Home page of E-business website design of letter and contain of the page should be different compare to other pages the home page is something when customer look at the first should give him/her a brief idea about the company. For example it should have a noticeable placement of the company name and what purpose the site would serve for a first-time visitor. In terms of design all the other web pages within that web site would remain consistent apart from the home page. All images used as a link will have an ALT tag attached to it to ensure a user can distinguish between what can be clicked or selected.
In general, good website design is about allowing the user to work with the web smarter than he or she would in the real world and, at the same time, allow the user to be aware of the new possibilities of this space, in the form of easy and understandable navigation schemes and other functionality that might be available.

This course introduces effective Web design principles and the essential role of the Web designer in today's business environment. Topics covered include site architecture, page layout, navigation, content, functionality, and usability. Students will evaluate existing Web sites and apply best practices to prototype a unique design using a Web authoring application.
Home pages for example are the first page people will see and it has to be importantly eye catching and highlighted in the right way. Because Zara is known for its high quality fashion, their website is very direct and tight. The customer knows exacty where to find what product, Zara has made it very easy and comfertable for her customers. If the technology used behind computers is changed the employees will have to keep to the
The aim of this report is to critically analyse the architecture of the website www.flinders.ed.au. The information gathered from the analysis will be used to devise solutions to problems with the website. The technique of examination for the website was to thoroughly
The content of the website should play to its audience – primarily the citizens of Kelsey. An added benefit would be to use the website to attract
Technical documents, as is the homepage of Claflin University’s website, always have a target audience that dictates how information is structured for presentation. After some research, I found that university websites are mostly visited by prospective students and their parents; the target audience. These visitors’ visits are prompted by the need to complete some exploratory task such as finding out the cost of tuition or if a major is offered at the university. The homepage of a website sets the standard by which these visitors will hold the entire website, demanding that it meets the three (3) measures of excellence I will explore; accessibility, professional appearance, and clarity.
The website meets the users need because its state that the focus of the website is to show the
They have designed the website in an impressive manner. They have segmented the aspects in such a manner so that the visitors of the websites will not have any issue in finding tht the things that they are looking for in their websites. The website is also designed in such a manner so that even if the customers do not have any intention in buying the products, they will check the products for once when they will come to visit the website.
This study found that three main elements are needed: consistent font style, consistent text and background color, a fast loading time, and well-placed hyperlinks. Hite and Railsback (2010) also determined that website development teams should possess several traits, such as marketing and technical skills and knowledge of user-interfaces and effective content. Because hyperlinks were noted as one of the most frustrating components for study participants, Hite and Railsback (2010) also suggest these design rules: do not use colors other than blue or photos/bullets as links, but do have an easy way to get to the home page. Hite and Railsback’s (2010) provide an excellent list of design elements that have been tested and proved, which will act as additional foundation for my analysis. I also plan to use their methods as a foundation for my own, since they were able to analyze a large amount of websites in a relatively short
When you first go to the home page it has a well-developed and effective design. The
The article talks about the importance of website usability to ease the user’s experience and to satisfy their needs. Satisfaction comes with user’s awareness of the website’s benefits.
I'm not saying make-up is evil, but we all know what's in somewhat good taste, and what isn't. But, hey!, I could be wrong: There could actually be a great person hiding under that crusty exterior; most of the time there is. A balance needs to be achieved or at least strived for when designing a web page or any page for that matter. I'm not trying to rag on Raygun or anything, because I like A LOT of the stuff that they do, but one must not get carried away with it and ignore what one is supposed to be doing in the first place. For this reason I have chosen to pick on the Alternative X web site (http://www.altx.com/), for this paper. Well, not really pick on them, but you know what I mean. So in our quest to discover the ideal web page we must look at the following things: 1) Does it make sense? Is its layout so erratic in such a way as to render the viewer blind because of the designers lack of vision and utter stupidity? 2) Organization. How and why were things placed in the places they were placed, needs to be known, or at least made seemingly apparant. 3) Since this is a web site we are critiquing, and like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Book one can skip to another section with almost no fear of being inquisitioned, does its "links" lead to somewhere meaningful?
Communication is the means of exchanging information from one individual to another or to a group of individuals. Communication is possible using several different means such as audios, visuals, language, symbols, imagery, body language, tone etc. Visual aids can be used in almost all the aspects of our life to communicate, to teach, for directions etc. “They make information meaningful and can speak in a dramatically persuasive and compact way”. (MEYER, 2017,p 382). This report will throw some light on the use of visual aids in communication, how they create meaning and the way they influence the audience.

Test Images Optimization – Image file names should reflect the pages’ keyword phrase, and alt tags should be optimized with the pages primary topic.
People are “love at first sight” creatures. You are going to want to make sure you page is loved at first sight. Readers are first going to browse the home page and see what the site looks like. They want to see an eye-catching page that draws them in and makes them want to stay. So choose a theme that can help you set up an ideal landing page.
