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.
