Design Choices

Our website has working links that lead to every page no matter where the user is, it will also be able to sense the type of device that the is be used to view the website and scale and move elements of the page to better suit specific devices.

Smartphones users will be able to navigate through pages by tapping the links in the menu, we will also include links to the the sub-topics within the relevant pages. Each link is labelled in a way that clearly describes the contents of the page.

We have decided not to use symbolic icons in place of text to reinforce the simplicity of our website, as such, we have made sure that each page is identical in colour and structure to ensure that users are not confused.

The only information contained in the website are facts and research that inform users of our reliance on technology and relevant issues.Following the 'F' writing convention ensures that users will not have trouble finding our information or where they should start reading.

Our limited colour palette and font gives our website a sense of professionalism and makes users more likely to consider our information rather than ignore it. The use of white space ensures that the contents of each page is not cluttered and illegible.

We decided on a landscape orientation as a portrait page would stretch the information down the page, making users have to scroll down for long periods of time. We made sure that the content on the homepage was minimal or brief in comparison to the available space on the page to ensure that we could add extra content or media later on to catch the user's eye.
