Visual clarity eg
  • use of columns to divide up pages
  • use of a small number of bright moving pictures
  • use of images which "show the website content"
  • white or simple background colour to "prevent overcrowding"
excellent graphics (we would really like to see some examples of what makes excellent graphics)


Keep It Interesting

Large enougth array of pages to keep people exploring
Keeping pages up to date
