  • Before designing the first Web page, it's vital to know who you are trying to reach. This single detail will chart the entire development course, from the site's content to its functionality. Defining and understanding your prospective audience increases the likelihood of user attraction and retention.
  • Primary market research consists of personal interviews, questionnaires, focus groups and surveys. When putting together your own Target Audience Profile, use these guidelines:
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Demographics. Regardless of the assessment tool you use, questions first should address basic demographic information. Prior to conducting a survey or focus group, spend some time online. The U.S. Department of Commerce publishes the Country and City Data Book which captures hard statistics for all U.S. states, counties, and cities with a population of 25,000 or more. Then, compile a questionnaire to address market segmentation along specific criteria:
  • Age: Users' wants and needs tend to change based on their generation. Knowing the average age range of potential users can help you design and market the site to meet that group's expectations. Gender: Male and female users often differ when it comes to what they value in a Web site. Studies show the factors that motivate women to visit or purchase from a particular site don't necessarily inspire men to do the same. Knowing gender predilections at the outset can impact the entire Web design process. Education: Data regarding potential users' educational background will help the Web developer determine design and content. In general, a site's format should target the average likely visitor, rather than aim at high or low ends of the academic experience curve. Geographic location: Where the target audience calls home drives the Web page content. For instance, urbanites living in a densely populated northeastern U.S. city likely will have different needs and preferences than their rural counterparts.
  • Marital status: Married Internet users typically access different retail/service sites than do single people. A TAP will help ascertain which group comprises your largest consumer demographic, with your Web site following this direction. Occupation: Although exceptions invariably exist, Web sites servicing "blue-collar" consumers will differ in style and content from those catering to professionals and "white-collar" workers. By the same token, retirees usually will have different preferences than consumers still in the throes of career building. Income level: A company targeting consumers who are apt to purchase luxury goods and services will require a Web site that differs considerably from a discount retailer's Internet page. Nationality: Businesses trading in goods and services for an ethnically diverse target market may need to consider multilingual content, as well as adjustments in design and format to fit cultural standards. Social class: A consumer's perception of his or her social status impacts preferences in goods and services - even when individual income does not reach this level.
  • Psychographics. Once you've finished with demographic-based questions, you're ready to take the line of inquiry a bit further. The science of psychographics (also known as "enriching characteristics") addresses why consumers act as they do. So, while demographics offer a general outline of your customer pool, psychographics brings critical characteristics of your target audience into sharper focus. Employing a psychographic methodology means devising queries about lifestyles, attitudes, values, beliefs, purchasing habits and other qualitative criteria. Although possibilities are numerous, key questions can help you and your designer hone and refine your Web site. Depending on your business, you might ask, for instance:
  • Do you consider yourself conservative or liberal? Is it important to care of the environment? What are your hobbies? Interests? Are you family-oriented or a loner? What type of entertainment do you prefer (cinema, theater, symphony, etc.)? How many books do you read monthly? What magazines do you read?
  • When you shop, which is most important - friendly staff, nice surroundings, good prices or convenient location? Do you shop for fun, because you must, or to relieve stress? Do you purchase (our) company's product because of quality, ease of use, price or availability? Do you patronize our competitor because their product is cheaper, product quality is better, service is friendlier, the store is nicer, or returns are simpler? Do you go online to work, shop, do research, play games, or e-mail? Do you think the Internet is tough going or easy to navigate? Do you prefer retail/service Web sites that are easy to navigate, easy to read, picture-heavy, or text heavy?

A Beginner's Guide to Pairing Fonts | Webdesigntuts+ - 2 views

  • Using multiple fonts together can be difficult, achieving harmony is challenging, but if you manage it the result can be decorative and striking. Use fewer fonts and your task is more straight forward. Try to make the best of both worlds by selecting fonts with multiple variants and weights. In this way you can take advantage of an array of styles, safe in the knowledge that they’ll compliment each other just fine.
  • What’s the Nature of my Content? When selecting fonts it’s important to consider the nature of the layout you’re dealing with. Are we talking mainly body copy? Are there multiple headings, sub-headings? Perhaps it’s a magazine layout with decks, blockquotes? When using multiple fonts make sure that the roles are clearly established; if one font is used as a sub-heading, don’t switch to another font for a sub-heading elsewhere. Keep a font’s purpose clear.
  • How Do I Achieve Successful Pairing? You might have already heard this; successful pairing relies on concord, or contrast, but not conflict. That is to say your selected fonts can work well together by sharing certain qualities, or by being completely different from one another. However, font pairs can conflict in a number of ways – being too similar being just one.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The x-height of a font describes the height from the base line to the upper reaches of the lower case characters, like the x. A proportionately large x-height helps with readability.
  • Pairing 2: Contrast Contrast between fonts often lends a winning combination, but in what ways can fonts contrast? Here are just some qualities to look for: Style: Take a look at any font resource site and you’ll see them categorized as Blackletter, Monospace, Script, Slab Serif etc. Fonts of different styles will often contrast. Size: Big font, little font. Say no more. Weight: Varying the weight of fonts is a common way to establish visual hierarchy. Hierarchy achieved by contrast. Form: Consider the proportions of a typeface. The relative length of the descenders, the curvature of the shoulders, the direction of the movement. Color: Not something we’re going to go into here, but color can easily determine whether two fonts work well together.
  • It’s a classic way of pairing; take a decorative serif for the heading and a sure-footed sans-serif for the body. Or take a no-nonsense sans-serif for the headings, with a pleasantly legible serif for the body. A winner in many cases. Let’s look at a few, kicking off with two system fonts. That’s right, even they can work well together.
  • Condensed fonts always work well to get your attention, as they take up a lot of vertical real estate.
  • Slab serifs make very effective attention grabbers, but can be a bit pushy if you’re not careful.
  • Pairing 3: Conflict Let’s not focus too much on what doesn’t work well, we don’t want to sour the joyous combinations in the rest of this guide do we? That said, let’s just illustrate how two fonts, which are arguably too similar, can look awkward together.
  • Once you’ve concluded that you don’t like a font pairing, try to work out why and it will help you make decisions more quickly in the future.

CSS techniques I use all the time - 0 views

  • EM calculations Sizing text is always an important part of making a usable design. I start all my CSS files with the following rules: html { font-size:100.01%; } body { font-size:1em; } The explanation for this comes from "CSS: Getting Into Good Coding Habits:" This odd 100.01% value for the font size compensates for several browser bugs. First, setting a default body font size in percent (instead of em) eliminates an IE/Win problem with growing or shrinking fonts out of proportion if they are later set in ems in other elements. Additionally, some versions of Opera will draw a default font-size of 100% too small compared to other browsers. Safari, on the other hand, has a problem with a font-size of 101%. The current "best" suggestion is to use the 100.01% value for this property.
  • I used the following calculation: 14px/16px = .875, 18px/16px = 1.125. So my default text at 1 em would translate to 16px for most users, and my small text I sized at .875em which I can trust to result in 14px for most users, while my large text I sized at 1.125em which I can trust to result in 18px
  • Safe Fluid-width Columns I work with hybrid fluid layouts all the time, usually with max-width set at anywhere from 900 to 1000px. I usually have floated columns with percentage widths, and browsers will calculate these percentage widths to whole pixel values when rendering the columns.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • A typical problem is the following: when a user has the viewport at a size that makes the outer container 999 pixels wide, if the first column is 60% and the second is 40%, IE 6 will always calculate the two columns as 600 and 400 pixels and as a result, the two will not fit (600+400 = 1 more than 999) and it will drop the second column. This is obviously not intended behavior, and in a world where we still have to use floats for columns (I can't wait for display:table support across all browsers), it's important to work around this problem. I used to give my last column 1 less percent (in this example, it would have 39% instead of 40%, but this would usually result in columns that don't quite fill up the container. Of late I have been giving the last column .4 less percent (in this example, 39.6%), which seems to work perfectly. Browsers will calculate this width and round up, but it will still fit even with an odd container width like 999px and I won't have to worry about dropped columns.
  • Filtering for Old Browsers To be honest, I barely support IE 6 nowadays. If there is something special about my layout that doesn't work in IE 6, I will simply filter it out of the CSS that IE 6 understands
  • Because old browsers like IE 6 don't support the "first child" selector (right caret >), I can do the following to make sure that IE 6 only gets the basic setting and all the new-fangled browsers get the right result: div#container { width:900px; } html>body div#container { width:auto; max-width:900px; } /* This overrides the previous declaration in new browsers only, IE 6 simply ignores it. */

Psychology Of Color In Web Design - 0 views

  •  
    There are so many ways in which color affects website design. First of all, it enhances your brand recognition. Branding is always a major factor when it comes to the business world. Color branding forms a big part of that branding. The term color branding can be simply defined as a process where colors are used to help you build an image for your company. It can also help you influence how people perceive the same. Let us say that a company wants to be known as a trustworthy and dependable enterprise. In that case it can go for options such as grey and blue. Similarly, colors such as black, silver, and gold can be used if a company wants to be seen as luxurious. They can increase your brand recognition With the help of proper usage of colors you can increase your brand recognition by as much as 80%. As you can see, it is a big number indeed. This means that there is also greater pressure on the web developers and designers. They need to be judicious in the way they use color branding on the websites of their clients. They have to make sure that when people land on those websites they know where they are. They should also know the kind of work that their client does. They can make particular elements stand out more than others Let us say that you want certain parts of your website to stand out from the rest. Now, how would you go about it? Definitely, you would not be using the likes of neon lights, which are flashing. You would also not use big arrows, hopefully. The best way to do it would be by using colors. Professionals such as web designers and developers use colors to highlight certain elements such as buttons, subscriptions, and important texts. Usage of color in call-to-action buttons You may be wondering what the right color is for call-to-action buttons. The thing is that there are no definite options as such. Normally, the most prominent colors of choice in this regard are green, red, and orange.

@font-face gotchas « Paul Irish - 1 views

  • There are a few reasons why smiley is a better solution: Webkit+Font Management software can mess up local references, like turning glyphs into A blocks.  (crbug.com/33173) On OS X, Font Management software may alter system settings to show a dialog when trying to access a local() font that's accessible outside of Library/Fonts. More detail on my bulletproof post. (crbug.com/29729) Font Explorer X is also known to mess up other stuff in Firefox: bugzil.la/531771 Although it's unlikely, you could reference a local() font which is completely different than what you think it is. (Typophile post on different fonts, same name) At the very least its a risk, and you're ceding control of the type to both the browser and host machine. This risk may not be worth the benefit of avoiding the font download. These are all pretty edge case issues, but it's worth considering. FontSquirrel has already made the smiley syntax the new default in the Generator, and you should use it going forward as well.
  • And.. regarding @font-face syntax I now recommend the bulletproof smiley variation over the original bulletproof syntax.
  • @font-face { font-family: 'Graublau Web'; src: url('GraublauWeb.eot'); src: local('?'), url('GraublauWeb.woff') format('woff'), url('GraublauWeb.ttf') format('truetype'); }
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • in Webkit (Chrome/Safari), applying font-weight:bold to faux-bold some @font-face'd text will not succeed. Same applies for font-style:italic.
  • text-transform doesn't play well with @font-face in current implementations.
  • @font-face doesnt play nice with css transitions.
  • If a @font-face declaration is within a media query @media screen { ..., it will fail in Firefox.
  • SVG Fonts - Currently SVG is the only way to get webfonts working on iPhone and iPad.

Best Practices for Speeding Up Your Web Site - 1 views

  • Arranging the images in the sprite horizontally as opposed to vertically usually results in a smaller file size. Combining similar colors in a sprite helps you keep the color count low, ideally under 256 colors so to fit in a PNG8. "Be mobile-friendly" and don't leave big gaps between the images in a sprite. This doesn't affect the file size as much but requires less memory for the user agent to decompress the image into a pixel map. 100x100 image is 10 thousand pixels, where 1000x1000 is 1 million pixels
  • Minification is the practice of removing unnecessary characters from code to reduce its size thereby improving load times. When code is minified all comments are removed, as well as unneeded white space characters (space, newline, and tab). In the case of JavaScript, this improves response time performance because the size of the downloaded file is reduced.
  • Many web sites fall in the middle of these metrics. For these sites, the best solution generally is to deploy the JavaScript and CSS as external files. The only exception where inlining is preferable is with home pages, such as Yahoo!'s front page and My Yahoo!. Home pages that have few (perhaps only one) page view per session may find that inlining JavaScript and CSS results in faster end-user response times. For front pages that are typically the first of many page views, there are techniques that leverage the reduction of HTTP requests that inlining provides, as well as the caching benefits achieved through using external files. One such technique is to inline JavaScript and CSS in the front page, but dynamically download the external files after the page has finished loading. Subsequent pages would reference the external files that should already be in the browser's cache.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • CSS Sprites are the preferred method for reducing the number of image requests. Combine your background images into a single image and use the CSS background-image and background-position properties to display the desired image segment.
