Web Style Guide

Chunking

-One to two pages of info is about the max size for a discrete chunk of info on the web

-Chunking can help organize/present info

-Long web pages tend to disorient readers

-Chunk of info must be flexible and consistent with common sense, logical organization, and convenience

- Match system with users’ expectations

-Most important step in planning your site is to organize information:

-create outlines, chunk info, think about how sections relate to each other, and create a table of contents

Design Themes

-All presentations of info are governed by parameters determined by the objectives, the practical logistics of the chosen medium, and the audience.

-web based training applications tend to be linear in design.
