Navigation
There are two types of navigation structure we can use:
Linear
In a linear structure, users move from one page of the site to another in sequence.
Hierarchical
In a hierarchical structure, pages are accessed depending on their position in the hierarchy.
Design
When designing our website we need to consider the following:
Navigation
Wire-framing
Legal implications
Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988
The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 was introduced to protect work produced by someone else.
When developing a web site we need to consider whether or not text, graphics, video and audio are copyrighted.
The end-users are the groups of people most likely to use the website. It is important that the web developer has a clear idea of who the target audience is so that the web design reflects this.
Common end-user groups
Young children
Employees with specific needs
Customers/clients
Inexperienced users
Skilled and expert users
Users who require additional features to aid accessibility:
Users with learning difficulties or disabilities
Users who require voice recognition integration
Users who require specialised output such as screen readers
Wireframes
Wireframes are used to design the layout of a webpage. They should show:
Navigational links
Text areas
Media used (including file format)
Position and type of hyperlinks on a page
Low Fidelity Prototyping
Often wireframes are passed to a graphic design artist and they will try and replicate the layout.
They will often contain more detail than a wireframe.
A low fidelity prototype can be created using pen and paper. This will be shown to the end-user group and they will give feedback.
