A website must not appear to be just a duplicate of other websites. Similar to infographics, a unique design makes the website striking and unforgettable. Uniqueness makes website branding easy. If a website has a unique design, the design can be easily associated with the website.

Put only what is needed on the website. Avoid including a lot of elements that may distract the visitors. This does not mean making the website look ordinary but avoiding over- designing with distractive complexity. Remember that the main objective of a website is to communicate information, and over-designing may defeat that objective.

A designer should take into consideration how a website will look on different platforms. Nowadays, websites are not just accessed using personal computers but also by using mobile platforms like mobile phones and tablets. Thus, a designer must ensure that a website can easily be accessed and navigated on different platforms. Websites that are compatible with both personal computer and mobile platforms are generally called adaptive or responsive websites. These websites have the capacity to adjust their sizes and the arrangement of their contents or elements depending on what screen they are viewed.

A designer must ensure that appropriate color combination is used in designing websites. Good color combination will also ensure that the other elements on the website are noticeable. It will also make texts readable. Likewise, a good color combination can attract visitors. This is also true to images and other multimedia contents integrated on the website. The use of multimedia must also serve the purpose of the website. A designer should only add multimedia contents that will help the website effectively communicate its message.

An effective webpage allows a visitor to interact or engage with the webpage. To achieve interactivity, one may use elements that catch the attention of the visitors and that keep them longer in the site. An example of this is the presence of comments or discussion section in a page.

A website must easily load on any device. If a website takes a long time to load, a visitor will likely leave it or will just access other sites. Use only the needed images, preferably optimized, to lessen the loading time of your website.

Ensure that a visitor can easily browse the different parts or pages of your website. Logically arrange the contents of the website to make navigation easier.

Remember that the main objective of a website is to communicate information. Ensure that elements are added to support this goal. Use different techniques to simplify the presentation of information.

PRINCIPLES IN DOING AN ADVOCACY OR COMMUNICATING FOR DEVELOPMENT

From 1983 to 1986, the People Power Revolution took place. Cardinal Sin urged Filipinos to help topple the administration of then-President Ferdinand Marcos during a radio interview with Radyo Veritas. Two million Filipinos from various sectors participated in a big protest along EDSA from February 22 to 25, 1986. Civilians, political parties, the military, and religious organizations were among those targeted. The radio broadcast had a significant impact on history. Filipinos would not have been driven to action if it had not been for it.

The 2001 EDSA Revolution, which took place from January 17 to 21, 2001, is also known as the EDSA Revolution. It was driven by the fact that 11 of President Joseph Estrada's prosecutors walked out of the impeachment trial. As a result, using text brigades, the audience in EDSA increased over the course of a few days. Edsa Dos, like the first People Power Revolution, would have failed if not for the text brigades.

From August 22 to August 26, 2013, a series of protests primarily took place in Luneta Park. Several protests took place in major cities around the Philippines, as well as in other countries. The goal was to call attention to the mismanagement of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). Despite being termed the "Million People March," only about 400,000 people attended. Despite this, the campaign was a success, demonstrating the power of social media efforts. The Million People March's organizers and promoters used Facebook and Change.org as their platforms.

The People Finder database, powered by Google, was born as a result of recent storms in Philippine history. During Typhoon Yolanda, the People Finder was a lifeline for people all around the world who wanted to know what was happening with their families. This proven to be a success, and additional groups are now using it to assist people in tracking down family after disasters.
