Web Site Design Principles -- A visual design & architecture primer
My fondness for the Adult Biz is great ? else, why do THIS, HERE. But I am often left scratching my head when I consider some of its pervasive practices. The object of this discussion is to acquaint readers with Web Site Design Basics. It is written, ostensibly, for the Noob (the Impoverished Noob, to be precise), but I don?t think I?d mind it if a few established, well-paid creators of Adult Web Sites marked some of the points I intend to cover. Success is hard to argue with ? but I?m gonna try anyway. As we all know, there?s a lot of money made here in Adult ? and certainly, that success owes to great ingenuity, great talent, and an understanding of certain aspects of the Medium found nowhere else. But, I think that Pornography on the Web was so IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE FAIL, that many GOOD practices and SOUND principles from the non-Adult commercial Web were never learned ? because they never had to be. Site Design is, in my opinion, one of those areas where we could do better. I can already anticipate the indignant cries of ?What the fuck are you talking about, man ? I gets PAID!? ? but, to reiterate, I am not saying money isn?t being made. What I?m saying is that most of the site designs I see out there could do even better, if their designers took into account a few well-tested ideas that they might not have heard of. Specifically, I want to review some of the principles of Usability and Information Architecture ? even a little Visual Design, in those ways where VD for the Web departs meaningfully from the norms of VD for print. First a definition: Information Architecture
This definition of IA is broader than IA for the Web, because the science of IA predates the Web. Before anyone had ever surfed or even pushed a mouse, Information Architects were concerning themselves with the challenges of joining many types of Information Consumers with Information Caches. At the most basic (earliest) end of the IA spectrum, consider a book. Today, we couldn?t fathom holding a book in our hands that didn?t have a table of contents and numbered pages. But these are innovations that came much after the basic fact of words printed on a page. As our ?systems? for information ?storage? and ?retrieval? became more complex, so did the science of IA evolve to incorporate new ?technologies? as they emerged. I deliberately placed the terms ?system?, ?storage?, ?retrieval? and ?technology? in quotes, because I expect most people using or reading those terms today associate them with IT and the computer age. And, even though the expression Information Architecture wasn?t coined until 1976, the science of IA ? by any other name ? is ancient and evident in applications as diverse as urban planning, human resources (staffing), and was the core of the reverse engineering strategy that cracked DNA?s ?filing system?. This is about the point where I usually apologize for my long-windedness. But it?s also where I provide you with a context for a dump of information that may seem little related to the subject at hand. I?m sorry ? it?s what I do -- lol. I have found that by backing as far away from the Applied Specifics of an idea as you can, you can gain a grasp of it that will allow you to take that idea places no one ever expected. And now, the abstractions made concrete. In the context of Web Sites, Information Architecture is? (cont?d. shortly) 2HP |

Web Site Design Principles -- A visual design & architecture primer -- cont'd.
In the context of Web Sites, the contribution of Information Architecture is simply the links and pages and the relationships between them. Though, on paper, IA work reduces to a site map... ...all of the value (and difficulty) of good IA comes comes from:
At this point, it makes sense to drop in another definition: Usability
In Web Site design, Usability and IA are inseparable ? though some folks will tell you it?s possible for good IA to stand alone, I have seen so much good IA fucked into worthlessness because the Usability was bad. This usually happens when programmers, who much more readily ?get? IA than Usability, have created a sound architecture, but not had the good sense to let a good Usability or Human Factors person take it from there. Although there are many kinds of Web Site, which is to say there are many different purposes for which Web Sites are designed, since our aim as industry is to make sales happen, we?ll focus on e-commerce sites. For clarification, e-commerce means to sell on the Web ? it?s a broad category that includes many forms of fulfillment ? but the commonality is that the ?deal is closed? online. There are a couple of models where that?s the case without a CC (or other method of electronic payment) having been debited, but they don?t concern this discussion. On the Web, ?where? EQUALS ?how? Do you think Tiffany?s would build a store on this "road"... http://url.co.nz/african_trip/Images...esert_road.jpg (cont'd shortly) 2HP |
