Eight golden rules of Interface design:

Yes, I agree with these rules and also these rules must be followed by each and every one who are into designing the website.

As we all know to develop a website it takes all the analysis of who is the targetted audience and what is the website for. Analyzing the website according to all these points is very important and hence, below is my analysis on one similar website.I have found one poorly designed website just a few days ago when I was just surfing through the web. So, here it is pennyjuice.com as you will see the website there are many flaws in the design of the website some of them that I noticed are as follows:

Points:

• Firstly it has too many colors and a website with too many colors is very bad to give a look at as the users won't like many colors together and if you want to make use of many colors it is totally cool only until you make use of good colors which blend with each other.

• Next, it has very wrongly made navigation bar which is fixed in a very wrong manner which covers 20% of the screen while scrolling and also is not completely covered from the top which makes it look more ugly.

• Also, the setting of the containers is also not perfect which makes it too hard to capture the website in one look by the user which is very important while making a website. The website must be able to engage the user in itself.

• The last thing that I didn't like about the website was the footer of the website which consists of the twitter and facebook feed which is not at all required there. All such additions to the website must not reside in the footer but must be in a separate section. Utilizing space is also very important.

Hence, these are the things that must be noted while developing a website and not be repeated so that they follow the code of conduct for interface designing and nothing is compromised.
