11-4 AppleWorks 5 User's Manual As you create a Web page with AppleWorks, keep the following design tips in mind: 1 Keep your design simple and uncluttered. An orderly design makes it easier to scan the page to find information. 1 Limit the size of your page so that users scroll no more than three screens. 1 Use headings so that users can scan the page and read the portions they want. 1 Consider separating areas of text with horizontal lines. 1 Organize related information in lists. 1 Use boldface and italic styles sparingly. Too much emphasis makes text difficult to read. Don't use underline, because underlined text indicates a jump to related information. 1 Choose typefaces and colors that are easy to read onscreen.
