The design for your biography page is not as critical as the design for your homepage but it is still very important. Your homepage was your first impression. If the person who came to your homepage clicked through to your biography page then you must have done something right on your homepage. Now they are on your site and they are interested in who you are because you caught their attention on that first critical page.
When deciding on the design for your biography page you want to think less about first impressions and more about getting your personal information across to your reader. They have come to this page for one, and only one, reason and that is to find out who you are.
First of all you will want to create a color scheme that is pleasing to the eye and also give the reader a little insight into you. If your favorite color is red then you could use reds. If you are a person with a soft, caring nature then you could use soft colors. Change the background, text, links, and visited links on your page to match the color scheme you have chosen. Remember to use contrasting colors so your text can be read.
A nice background image might be nice to. Make it something personal to you. If you like unicorns use a background that incorporates unicorns into it. If you like hearts then use one with hearts, and so on.
If you want to you can add a picture of you. This way they can see you while they are reading about you. This will make them feel more of a connection with you and will make them more likely to want to read more about you.
The layout for this page can be a simple page with your information in the middle or you can create a table to list different things. For instance, you could place your biography on one side of the page and your stats on the other side of the page. Or you could talk about you on one side and your family on the other.
Always write in small paragraphs so your reader doesn't get bored. The Internet is a fast moving media and if it takes your reader too long to get through a paragraph then they are less likely to read the next one and you may lose them.
Also, don't forget to create a section to add the links to your other pages from here too. This way if they do like what you have to say they will be able to move to the next section of your site easily.
