Good Web design is the same as good design. If you understand the
elements that make up good design, you'll have a Web page that works
well. These elements of good design apply whether you are writing a Web
page, a business card, or a t-shirt and once you understand them you'll
have the skills to be a great designer.
Fonts are the way your text looks on a Web page. And most Web pages have
large amounts of text. When you're thinking of design, you need to
think about how the text looks on a micro-level (the font glyphs, what
font family, etc.) as well as the macro-level (positioning blocks of
text and adjusting the size and shape of the text). These resources
explain how to work with fonts on Web pages.
Color is everywhere. It's how we dress up our world and how we see
things. Color has meaning beyond just "red" or "blue" and color is an
important design element. These color resources teach how to use color
effectively in Web design.
When people think of Web design often what they mean is the layout.
Layout is the organization of elements on a Web page. First you need to
start with basic design principles. Once you understand them, you can
move through how to place elements on your Web page. These links and
resources will take you through the steps to learn good Web layout
design.
Navigation is how your customers get around from one page to another on a
Web site. Navigation provides movement and gives your customers the
chance to find other elements of your site. You need to make sure that
the structure of your Web site (the information architecture) makes
sense so that your customers aren't forced to simply use search.
