6 The Principles of Beautiful Web Design handcrafted, organic elements creates contrast and helps to draw your eyes to the featured artists without interfering with the pages’ readability or how it’s organized. Figure 1.2. Harmony Republic Users can move about easily via intuitive navigation We’ll talk more about the placement of navigation later, but the main navigation block itself should be clearly visible on the page, and each link should have a descriptive title. A navigation structure that not only changes appearance when hovered over with the cursor, but also indicates the active page or section (as the menu shown in Figure 1.3 does), helps users to recognize where they are, and how to get where they want to go. Figure 1.3. A navigation menu from nclud.com, a Washington, DC-based web design agency Secondary navigation, search fields, and outgoing links should not be dominant features of the page. If we make these items easy to find, and separate them visually from the content, we allow users to focus on the information—yet they’ll know where to look when they’re ready to move on to other content.
Layout and Composition 7 Users recognize each page as belonging to the site Even if there’s a dramatic difference between the layout of the home page and the rest of the site, a cohesive theme or style should exist across all site pages to help hold the design together. Take a look at the three screenshots from the Moore School of Business website 3 in Figure 1.4. Although the content blocks on these pages are divided differently, there are several visual indicators that let users know that these are pages from the same site. Much of this unity is due to the repetition of the identity and navigation blocks. The consistent use of a very limited color palette (black, gray, yellow, and red) also helps to unify the pages.
