Hi guys, im not here on friday so i thougt i would write something down.

when building a website we need to always take into account the many users that are out there and adapt our website so that they are able to use it.

to put them into 'practice' we need to test them on the relevant users to see if it can be used by them.

Guys, i know its not much but i dont really know what to write but i hope this gives you some things to talk about.

See you next week - Sarah

I've found some links that may be of use:

There's askTog - http://www.asktog.com/basics/firstPrinciples.html ( - which lists and describes design principles.

Some of thes principles are:

consistency

dealing with colour blindness

Readability - i.e. contrasting colours, font size and type.

Use of metaphors.

Some other sites include http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20030825.html (Jakob Nielsen, 2003)and another article here http://www.hooverwebdesign.com/web-design-principles.html
