AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual

As you create a Web page with AppleWorks, keep the following design tips
in mind:

1

Keep your design simple and uncluttered. An orderly design makes it
easier to scan the page to find information.

1

Limit the size of your page so that users scroll no more than three screens.

1

Use headings so that users can scan the page and read the portions they
want.

1

Consider separating areas of text with horizontal lines.

1

Organize related information in lists.

1

Use boldface and italic styles sparingly. Too much emphasis makes text
difficult to read. Don’t use underline, because underlined text indicates a
jump to related information.

1

Choose typefaces and colors that are easy to read onscreen.
