Bulleted lists
2010 February 2
Bulleted lists are a really useful way to break up the text on a page as they slow down the scanning eye.
Lists are great for drawing attention to important points and we use them extensively on programme landing pages (See the postgraduate site) as they are an effective way of getting across lots of stuff in a small space.
When creating bulleted lists;
- remember to keep them short, descriptive and easy to read
- front-load your bullet point with the key message
- limit them to no more than nine items
- don’t go further than secondary level bullets
- only use numbered lists when the order is really important.
