Websites should use colourful and interesting pictures and videos. Good layout is necessary. Pictures and animation should be used to break up the text.

Experts recommend that websites should be visually attractive without being too flashy or crowded. They should have a clear design and navigation, be well organised, structured and respect the predominant design principles online. Remember that while young people like colours and images, they prefer neutral but efficient sites over a colourful messy one.

Glaring adverts should be avoided as they can distract children and cause question to the purpose of the website.
