 Consider these questions as you add graphic elements to your pages:
• Who is my primary audience?
• Do my images support my message or simply decorate the page?
• Do my images distract visitors from my message?
• Are there so many images on a page that it takes a long time to load?
• Is there some design consistency throughout my site?
• Is my color scheme complementary and text easily read?
• What is my own experience of what constitutes an effective web site? |

Many people choose to apply a page background to their web sites. Light textures, faded thematic imagery, or pastels are recommended. Avoid backgrounds that are too busy, too dark or too bright. To set a background, at your home page, choose Page Settings: Page Design: Background Image. |
