Axioms of Web Design



Sports Illustrated's webpage is an ever-changing website with sports updates of news and scores. There is a lot of information compacted into one homepage for the viewer to chose what to look at or read about. The webpage is designed to be broken into different categories so that the viewer can navigate with ease to their desired location. They accomplish this by margins between each category and using sizes of the images of titles by important to least important. For example, when I first got to this website there was a picture of LeBron James flying through the sky with a report of him scoring a career high of 61 points. Another way that this page is designed well is the navigation bar is fashioned after an old-school banner. This small detail is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and draws the viewer to where they need to be in order to navigate. Another goal for a webpage is to have returning visitors. They accomplish this by having current scores at the top of the page allowing fans to be updated quickly and easily. This website is also converted to fit on a cell phone browser by converting the sports reports into smaller rows and columns that is easy to navigate as well. This website is well designed for all the information that is compacted and is easy to navigate.
