Introduction


 

 

After conquering the initial hurdles in creating webpages, users usually get frustrated with the little control over page layout offered by basic HTML. We will discuss here various options for handling layout, as well as other effects and interactions typically added to sites that have advanced beyond the beginnings.

Sensible use of these techniques always has the user in mind and focuses not on the visual effect, but foremost on the advantages in usability these features bring for the site's visitor. Just as large images will turn off most visitors due to their long download times, no matter how pretty they may be, in the same way e.g. a frames-layout that makes part of the text unreachable for users with a large font preference is bad site design.
