Website: Choosing a layout (Option 2)


Option 2

This design was also influenced from an existing website and became our selected layout. It allows for a lot of articles to be displayed in the centre of the page with an ordered pattern and the main article bigger than the rest just above, below the title and logo.

Advertisements are kept separate from the main section of articles so it doesn’t disrupt the flow and distract the viewer from the stories. They are placed on the far right with one main one alongside the logo and title of the website, which was a popular layout we found during research.

The layout of the title and slogan are also kept simple and straightforward so they stand out clearly for the viewer to identify what the page and website is about.

Down the left hand side of the layout is where the navigation bar will be situated displaying the different categorizes of articles so the viewer can easily select which type of articles they won’t to filter. On the right hand side are links to other articles, which are separated by the advertisements so they don’t merge and follow the same pattern as the main articles in the centre.

This layout optimized the amount of articles could be displayed without them being cluttered and overflowing onto a single page. It provides a simple and trouble-free arrangement so the viewer can navigate and find the way through the website without trouble and effort.
