Layout, Colour Paradigms and Character Sets
Content on the internet should be suitable for as many different people as possible internationally. The layout, use of colour and choice of character sets should all be considered carefully.
Layout
Layout
- Web content designed for English language readers will take into account the fact that text is read from left to right.
- As a result, important information will tend to be on the top left of the page.
- However, Arabic language readers, for example, read from right to left so it would be appropriate to make alternative layouts available.
Colour paradigms
Colour paradigms
- It is vital to choose colours carefully when creating content for the web.
- In the United Kingdom, the colour red is used to indicate a warning.
- In China, the colour red is used to signify good luck.
- Blue is often seen as the safest colour, having very few negative connotations worldwide.
Character sets
Character sets
- Different languages use different character sets to allow for any additional letters or symbols used in their alphabet.
