How to create a better view for an e-education
website?
An efficient web design can increase the chance that a
user stays on your website. Usually, it's not necessary
to be very fancy, but it must be very clear to read the
information. 
1. Give your site a well-organized structure
Don't put too much various information on one page. You
want to give your user some information instead of making
them do an exercise, don't you? If you put too much information
in one page, you will cause two problems. First, your
users have to keep clicking or rolling the scrolling bar.
Then they found it's an endless reading, and they might
just leave here to find some other site that can make
them feel free to read. Second, when you put too much
and various information on one page, your users will lose
track. It doesn't mean you don't have good content, but
you might don't have good organization. You want your
users can come back to read your article, right? Then
you should make each page be well organized so that when
the users come back, they can know where they can find
their information instead of reading the whole page that
might have a lot of paragraph that has nothing to do with
the information that he/she is looking for.
2. Fairly Using Images
It's necessary to put images to illustrate some of the
points. It's difficult enough to read in the screen so
don't just put all the text on your web. However, one
thing is as important as using images is do not to put
too many images; otherwise it will distract the user.
3. Don't over use animation
Animation is good to attract the users attention. It's
good to use it somewhere that you want your user to really
pay attention. However, how do you feel if you see too
much animation on the screen? Can you tell which one is
important? Too much animation will distract the user from
reading and make them feel uncomfortable sometimes. Of
course, you could still put animation in your pages. But
make sure that you really put the "skip" button
for user to choose they want to see it or not. I believe
your user will appreciate your understanding and keep
your website bookmarked.
4. Don't use dark background
It's cool to create a website by using dark background,
but if you want your users to really get some information
from your site instead of showing them that you have ability
to create a cool website, I really think you shouldn't
use dark background. Most people still feel more comfortable
reading dark words on light paper. It can increase the
readability of your website.
