Brief 02 What are the main technical issues in web design?

It is my first website design experience so before building my website I have to know what kind of thing should I take care of.

Colours


The first main difference between print and web design is the colours. Indeed I will work in RVB instead of CMJN. 

They are some tips to choose the good colours. First I have to think about my target audience, however I must avoid clichés to gain credibility. Then I need to avoid colours competitors, to eliminate them from my own color schemes.

Basically, I should avoid this colour scheme_



Resolution_

I found this this table that can be my guideline for my mediaqueries.

However I chose to use the resolution of my own mac, to have a batter quality.


Typographies_

Web typographies rules: 
  • A preference for sans serif font. In fact, after research, pretty much every big block of text is set in a sans serif typeface, making it much easier to read. Headlines and other smaller blocks of text are laid out in serifed fonts, creating a balance between the two.)
  • Avoid the centered text can make a website design easy to read.
  • Take care with type colours, The easiest fix for that is to make sure that the colour of my type is drastically different from that of my background.
  • Type size: less than 12pt is not enough. Most, however, chose a larger size like 14px, which is even better for readability. Plus, readability in large titles is far easier to figure out than in body copy.
