How things look.Many elements have a standardized appearance, like the icon that tells you it’s a link to a video, the search icon, and the social networking sharing options. Conventions have also evolved for differentkindsof sites—commerce, colleges, blogs, restaurants, movies, and many more—since all the sites in each category have to solve the same set of problems. SomeSlightlyIrregular.com cityislandmovie.com These conventions didn’t just come out of thin air: They all started life as somebody’s bright idea.
