Design Criteria

Each of your pages should follow a design theme throughout the site. Graphics should not overwhelm the overall design. Leave some "white space" on your site for the eye to travel from section to section without clutter. Colors should be complementary and should not clash. Text and graphics should be laid out and justified evenly. Longer pages (2-3 scrolls) should be broken up into separate linked pages for ease of viewing.

Please read the two columns below. The left side should be a part of your site and includes each of the items we look at during our review. Consequently, the right hand side should not be a part of your site. These items, when found on your site, will count against the overall level of medal you might win. This is the case in each of our categories.

Medals

• Is there a theme to your design? • Is the theme used consistently throughout the site? • Do the graphics match and support the theme? • Do the colors match and compliment the design? • Did you apply alt-tags to all of your graphics? • Is there a title to each of your pages? • Is the text left-justified for ease of reading?	• Is the use of graphics overabundant? • Is there more than 2 flashing animations per page? • Does the background flash or change colors? • Does the background clash with the text? • Is the text centered down the screen? • Does your design cause horizontal scrolling? • Does the page length hurt my wheel mouse finger?
