Outline: The first part of this workshop will familiarise
participants with research findings that identify the characteristics

and upper level page design and navigation for Web sites that
represent the first point of contact for large organisations
such as universities and schools, government departments and
private organisations. During the second part of the workshop
attendees will design and setup a hypothetical Web site using
the principles and skills taught earlier in the day as well
critique a range of other selected Web sites.
