Uniformity in look and feel mainly means consistency in the following. This is one of the critical aspect of site building. Every page should have a good level of likeness.
- Colours used across site…
- Similarity in the placement of navigation options across all pages.
- Fonts used across the site (understand the if you use odd fonts, visitor will see the page entirely differently)
- Other things like headlines, title usage, graphics usage all of which should follow a certain order and system that is reflected across all pages.
User should not feel lost wherever they are in the site.
You might have noticed that when you reach some site you would think it is fairly ok. You reach the next page of the same site it would be like to going to a remote island. Next page will be another completely different island in isolation. What such sites lack is a look and feel. You quickly feel lost in such sites. Overcoming such a situation is what site building with a look and feel means.
Never place similar links in a displaced manner during your site building.
This is a very important accept to be taken care of during web building. Never place similar links in disparate locations in pages. If you have a set of links to important pages like sitemap, contact us, place them in one location across all pages.
Once you decide on a structure, next thing to concentrate on is look and feel of the site. In fact a well defined structure comes from a good look and feel.
