Web Design Capabilities
Shown are several representative sites to demonstrate my web design capabilities. Clicking the image will take you to the site or an example of the site (Beacon Falls is still on "hold").
Tolland Baseball League (TBL) pages are archived onto this site. I turned site maintenance over to the League in 2006. All TBL pages shown here are from 2005.
My design principles follow the KISS idea: Keep It Simple, Stupid:
- An easy-to-navigate site is superior to a cluttered site.
- An easy-to-read page is remembered, recalled and revisited more often than a poorly written page.
- Animations are nice but should not be overused, as they can become annoying very rapidly. Graphics should be easy to understand.
- Buttons should be made self-explanatory by using text on them or near them.
- Break one large page into several smaller pages.
- Every principle listed here has one intent: to help your audience find what they want on your site!
While these parameters are basic design common sense, surf the web for a few minutes and note how many sites don't meet these criteria. If you want your site designed with your audience in mind, contact me.
