Website
navigation should
be concise, clean, simple and have a uniform structure
throughout the site. |

As layout
is very important, it should be kept same through the
site. |

One of the
most important factor in designing a website is choosing
the right kind of colors.
Look at different color
combinations and how they apply to your website. |

Always
double check your site for spelling
errors and make sure the links are working properly. |

Working with
frames, you can
control the composition of your web page by specifing
the size of frames in pixels.
If you must use frames,
use them carefully. Offer a choice to visitors - Frames
verses No Frames. |

Do not set sound to "autoplay"
when someone visits your site. |
| >> |
View your site
through different browsers and screen resolutions
to check html validity
and browser compatability. Making your site
fit in any screen resolution is a must.
Example: Internet
Explorer, Netscape, Firefox, Opera to mention a few. |

The recommended
file size for a
web page is 40-60K. Reduce the file size of your graphics
without effecting the quality. |
| >> |
Make sure you include proper META
tags in the HTML
of each page of your website. |
| >> |
Avoid placing banner
exchange banners at the top of your page. |
| >> |
Include contact
information and try to reply to all comments
and suggestions within 24 hrs. |
| >> |
Take some time
and think about what you are going to write on the
web pages. Be clear about what you are offering to
the visitor. |

Separation
of paragraphs -
along with proper heading for each section - helps
a page to be more easily read and navigated. |

To make them
Search Engine
friendly - Add title, keywords, author information,
meta tags, description, robots.txt to all the pages
and submit them to major search engines and web directories. |
| >> |
Never use -
excessive large / tiny graphics, blink tag, under
construction signs, whole page written in CAPITAL
LETTERS, too many advertising banners to mention a
few.
Graphics that are too large (anything over 100k) will
cause a significant delay in the load time of a page.
Instead you may have a link to it instead of loading
it onto the page. |
| >> |
Always
save your graphics
both in .gif and .jpg formats to check the best quality
for the file size. GIF files can be compressed either
as interlaced or non-interlaced. |
