The goal of this article is to design an interface for social network according to aesthetic, human computer interaction principles and find an appropriate location for items on a page. For this purpose, we studied 5 aesthetic
principles(golden section, dynamic symmetry, Gestalt laws, color harmony and Goetheâ€™s color theory), the effect of web aesthetic on users first credibility perception, the importance of user profile for designing interface and Motivation- Hygiene theory. The method in this paper was experimental for which a group of participants were asked to draw what they
expect their profile page should look like. Subjects were 18 students from Shiraz University of Technology. According to important factors for designing user interface, analyzing these studies, doing experiments, and collecting participantâ€™s opinions, drawings and designs, we presented a model for user profile and home interface design and then we analyze them.
