Ui/ Ux Principles and design laws

Can you provide some basic examples of how this will work?
How will your design provide feedback on any actions you design?
How can you apply usability goals to the user interface? eg. Consistency of interface across web/app and within.

User Experience

The User experience for my page should be simple to understand yet easy to navigate with many features that are intuitive to the user.

Features

Lightbox Images

In order to make the webpage intuitive to navigate i needed to make features clear from the start, I first added the image lightbox effect on pressing the points on the timeline. These needed a hover effect but it still wasn’t super clear so i added an extra line of text to make sure it was known.

Navigation Bar

In order to make navigation a bit easier i added a navigation bar element to the side of the website that stays there so you can always find the era of art you want to look at.

Structure

The webpage should be structured down a log timeline starting from the beginning and getting more advanced as it goes down the page. Each section should have a short description and an image next to a solid point (dot) on the timeline. These dots should be interactive in some way.
