Most non-professional designers lack the expertise and experience of visual design. Many books or articles introduce the website design guidelines, like "remain consistent" and "provide clear visual messages." The literal meanings of the guidelines are easy to understand, but there is a gap between the understanding and the actual implementation of the guidelines. Therefore these guidelines are generally not easily followed by a non-professional designer. If there is a website assessment method which can clearly indicate the defect of the site’s visual design, the non-professional designer can enhance the visual quality of the site. Therefore, this study aims to develop an effective assessment method of website visual design. The assessment of visual design is very subjective, so we do not use the guidelines which are proposed by several experts or scholars as the indicator. We use the quantitative analysis results of high-quality sites to evaluate the visual design of a site. A non-professional designer can increase the site’s visual beauty by following the suggestions of the assessment.
