The layout, use of colour and choice of character sets should all be considered carefully. ### Layout ![Layout](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2020-08/a91d5f78-555f-4dc8-8e9b-0ebc85591509/languages-welcome.png) - 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](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2019-04/bbdea866-30ac-4472-ad87-febd054a7eab/colour-card-.jpg) - 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](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/c4db5f57-ead7-4712-8b1f-a58f7f227e75/alphabet-letters.jpg) - Different languages use different character sets to allow for any additional letters or symbols used in their alphabet. ## Test yourself on Layout, Colour Paradigms & Character Sets - In what area of the page is important information typically displayed for English language readers?
