Visual location

Location can be indicated in many ways, the obvious one being text. Graphics or colour schemes can also indicate location. These are useful but are not likely to be immediately clear to new site visitors, so are most appropriate in addition to clear textual information.

For ideas on how to display location, look at existing Web sites such as those in the case studies for this lesson.

(Graphic design aspects will be covered in a future lesson.)
