Relationship between elements.

Web elements refers to things like font, colour, buttons. These all need to be connected and have a linking quality to them to make your web site work.

Font - You do not necessarily have to use the same font for all your text but make sure there is continuity throughout. What you can do is use one font for topics and then another for all your body text throughout.

Buttons - make sure that through your different pages your keep the same colour scheme in your tabs as colour is very good for navigation through a site. So having your home tab green on one age and then changing it to yellow on another will lead to it being harder to follow than any real help.

Colour - as mentioned above - keep your colour continuous. Not meaning monotone - but that you have continuity in the colour, that every age holds a base layout in terms of your colour. In your buttons - that they all stay the same colour on every page.

An example of some great design continuity in these web elements is
