Hi. After working as designer for 4 years, I found some great facts about design, user-interface and content presentation in web design. My design experience includes many types of clients, good, bad, and naughty clients. I have even design such websites which are actually by client. They are so nasty that, they want to create website themselves.. not by designers. So working so long with various clients and many design presentation, lastly i came to know few facts about web design.
so the most effective part is the content presentation, readability and simplicity in the website. There should be right content positions, the user should think more to find contents and should be completely readable. If user have to go forward to the monitor to see the fonts, then its going to be problem. If the website is in white background.. then there are great chances user will visit it again and again.
We have many resources to share these ideas better than me. we can find many books, website, articles and papers explaining these web truths. I just want to share some websites, books to inspire the designers.
