Before we go out of the box, break the rules to stand out from the rest, we need to manage the basic rules. Beside the Design Principles, there are some more specific rules applied for webpage design which I found useful:

+ Page layout:

- Do not put something into two much boxes in one page to attract viewers. Remember to do this in moderation because if you put too much boxes in one page, it will decrease the unity of a page and make the page disorder.

+ Colour :

- Use contrasting colors to increase the readability. When we use enough contrast between the text and background make it easy to read. It is better and in most use with light background color and dark text color.

- Use complementary colors to highlight the important part. But remember that do not use too much and not use it on the whole page because it havoc our eyes.

- Use color sparingly. For impact, designers choose to create their design on more than a single color. But color thrown around everywhere also loses its impact. For maximum impact, use color on headings, and the most important words in headings.

+ Repetition :

Generally, webblog all have the same page elements : a header graphic and text, a main column, and a sidebar. We have to arrange these elements in repetition in order to control hos the user's eyes is guided down the layout. We use repetition to put the information into groups, highlight the key words. Repetition increase the unity , cohesion of our page and also increase the readability.

+ Proximity:

Similar or related elements are grouped together to form a cohesive whole. Those that aren't related should be kept separate. This enables viewer to glance at the page and immediately know the relationship of page elements.
