Design aspects of a Love Greetings Website

How to design an eCard or a E-greeting website on love? What are the factors that make a good looking and sticky website on love ecards? Let me discuss what we have tried in CupidEcards.com The Colors Making impression in the first look is very important. Color of website is a major factor in this. We have chose pink as the background color and used red hearts to show the theme of love on the website. Homepage design The homepage should be pleasing, attractive and invite the user to search further in the website. Using a byline of - The loveliest place to send love cards below the site name on the homepage does that trick to a certain extent. The next factor is placement of main links on the homepage. They have all been listed on the right of the site logo on the homepage. By pacing five thumbnails at the bottom of homepage, we are showing the visitor something about the design of the card he/she can expect on the website. Now let us talk of the design of the inner pages. The cards have been divided in ten main sections. Be Mine Forever Bi rthday Crazy In Love Let Me Love You Love Notes Miss You Marry Me I Love You Sorry Valen tines Day The menu in HTML has been taken on the left side of the page and the layout has twelve thumbnails each, three horizontally and four vertically. The overflow goes into next page. The header is in flash, with similar looks of the homepage to maintain continuity. The card name is displayed at the bottom of each thumbnail, with a short alt text attached to each thumbnail image. We are making more changes in the website to make it more user friendly. This and the aspect of card sending page designs will be discussed in the next part of this article.
