WEB DESIGN FEATURES

Coming back to Manukau Institute of Technology to study in 2009 brought back memories when I was a student  15 years ago. In returning to MIT I came back with the passion, the drive and the motivation to finish what I had not achieved many years ago.

Hello MIT! Tofu is back and what a feeling of fulfilment. I am here to achieve and to generate new possibilities in my study. I aim to do this by utilising all the new experiences, knowledge and new technology that my lecturers are distilling into me in order for me to complete the Diploma in Communications.Computing in Organisation suits my plan which is a paper within my Diploma.

Good Design Features for my assessment in Technology in Organisations will help me to; Design our family business Website.
These elements of good web designs are:

Text
 Background does not interrupt the text,
Text is big enough to read but not too big,
Column of text are narrow than in a book to make reading easier.

Navigation
Navigation buttons and bars are easy to understand and use
Navigation is consistent through web site
A large site has an index or site map

Links
Links colour coordinate with page colours
Links are underlined so they are visible to the visitors

Graphics 
Buttons are not big and dorky
Animated graphics turn off by themselves
Every graphic link has a matching text link

General Design
Pages download fast
Good use of graphic elements (photos, subheads, pull quotes) to break up large areas of text
Every web page in the site looks like to the same site

This is a very unique and important technology within organisation for cost effective marketing tool and shop window for your product and services. It is also a very good way to grow your business by owning your operating website. I feel that discussing this topic is very unique and useful for an organisation and my family business.
