Webpage Design Tips
As you and your partner begin creating the webpage for your Museum Design Project, here's some webpage design info, tips, and tricks to consider. These help make your webpages accessible to all readers as well as impactful:
Styling content on your webpages
- Writing Hyperlinks: Salient, Descriptive, Start with KeywordIf you plan on including hyperlinks to resources in your source analyses, this page describes how best to style and format those hyperlinks for your readers.
- 5 Formatting Techniques for Long-Form ContentUnlike essays, webpages give you a greater suite of options for presenting your content. In other words, don't just re-type an essay onto a webpage. Take some creative license! This page provides some pointers for how to incorporate bullet points, summaries, bolded sections, and more into your webpages to really make the content pop.
- Alternative TextIf you include images or other visual media in your webpages, be sure to add alternative text, or "textual substitute for non-text content in web pages". Alt. text ensures visually impaired readers and those without ideal internet connections can still access and appreciate the content on your webpages. This article discusses alt. text, and gives helpful advice for how to style it in your pages.
Public Domain & Creative Commons Images
As students, you typically don't have to worry about copyrighted images on your research products, as there are legal exceptions in place for students and educational projects (also called "fair use"). However, if you plan on using images or visual content beyond reproductions of your primary sources, consider using images in the public domain and those with (select) Creative Commons licenses. These are images that anyone has the legal right to reuse, reproduce, and remix. This is especially useful for those looking to pursue future academic research and writing, or those interested in web design/digital humanities projects.
For additional questions on copyright and its applicability to research, you can speak with Kyle Jenkins or you can take a look at the UR Library's Copyright and Fair Use guide.
*Note: The above description of copyright should not be considered legal advice, nor is it meant to be considered a definitive statement about students' use of copyrighted or public domain images and other content.
