The graphical elements and layout
of website have a strong influence on how easily usable the
site is. Standards like blue, underlined links, top and side
menu bars, logos in the top, left-hand corner may seem like
rules that can be bent, but adherence to these elements (with
which web users are already familiar) will help to make a
site usable. Design also encompasses important topics like
visibility & contrast, affecting how easy it is for users
to interest the text and image elements of the site. Separation
of unique sections like navigation, advertising, content,
search bars, etc. is also critical as users follow design
cues to help them understand a page's content. A final consideration
would also take into account the importance of ensuring that
critical elements in a site's design (like menus, logos, colors
and layout) were used consistently throughout the site. The
