Guidelines For Building Web Sites - A tutorial Link from Astahost

jlhaslip
I was cruising through the Astahost Forum this morning and found this really good bit of information about guidelines for Site Design and thought I'd share it with all the fine folks here at the Trap.
None of these suggestions are "required" for your sites, but they are highly reccomended suggestions about designing for the web.
If you read this forum, read the whole thing, because the replies add to the original topic post and all are valid points.

Enjoy.

Astahost Guidelines for GOOD web design

That is some really good stuff you have there jlhaslip. Thanks for posting it here. I have also committed those web design crimes but I have learned my lesson. That is a very good resource for beginners who might need some help. What I need to do is get everything looking the same in every browser. Tough thing to do. I also need to make that feedback form but sadly my site is still messed up and I can't access it. sad.gif

Thank you for sharing this. Those are the common mistakes made by webdesigners who are just starting or beginning. But I have to remind you too that these are just guidelines. You can follow them all the time, but you would end up conventional. It still depends on your targer market, and how you really like your website to get noticed. Sometimes, breaking the rules and guidelines give you more visitors. Your site becomes contoversial and might end up in the list of worst website, but arleast you are still in the list.
