As always, colour should be used with restraint in web design. It is easier to make a strong impression using black plus one or two colour than it is to make an impression by using every colour of the rainbow. Here is a web that even uses rainbow colour as a background.
Readers may hurt their eyes once they open the page. There are two strong rainbow colour square graphic background with a blue colour heading. The background colour is much stronger than the heading. The image on the main page is so small that disappeared into the very strong colour background. And a sentence says ‘Click image to enter the award winning website’ which I doubt so. If it is an award winning website that might be ‘super colourful web design award’. Large areas of bright colours distract readers, creating hard to look at ‘hot spots’ on screen. (Parker, 2003) Rainbow background design for every page is not consistency as well.
The author fills the screen with the text. A lack of onscreen white space presents a very ‘bloated’, hard-to-read image. (Parker, 2003) Instead, white space should be built into both sides of the page.
