Website design layout
There is one simple fact that you need to digest before you look at filling your site with content.
Users are by nature, lazy.
Users don’t want to read through large areas of text. We only scan pages, we don’t actually read them.
We may take a glance at large areas of text and pick out a few words. If the content seems interesting we may read further, but large areas of text are off putting for users and are rarely pursued any further.
Hopefully that rule doesn’t apply to this document!
It is for this reason that designers are encouraged to break the text up into sections, perhaps using quote boxes.
What you want to do is draw your reader’s attention to the important points, using colour and headings to draw their eye through the natural progression of your sites content.
Group related information together. By using headings and creating a visual hierarchy, you are cutting down on the amount of text and making it easier to understand.
