Researching Websites

Before i think about starting my website i need to understand the conventions and streotypes of a website so first off i researched this. I found out a few"Do's and Dont's" of website design.

·  Your logo should be at the top of the page as this will be the first thing viewers look for to identify the website. 

·  Your logo should link back to your homepage.

·  Underline links and put them in a different colour within a piece of text. 

·  There are normally sponsered adverts on a website page. 

·  Navigation bar either at the top, or to the right or left. Including different

·  Drop down menu's.

·  Pictures/photographs/logo's. 

·  Colour scheme relevent to your channel. 

·  A background colour or image relevent to the channel.

These are just a few things to keep in mind when making mock ups and thinking about the layout and content of my own website.
