Dos and Donts Guide to Great Web DesignThe process of web design can be compared to the process of writing a research paper. In the conceptualization/planning stage, flowcharts (the outline) are created which illustrate the navigational structure of your website. In the modeling stage, static wireframes are created (the rough draft) which illustrate the skeletal layout for each section of your website. After the wire frames are created, graphics, colors and text are used to create the design of your web pages based on the layout of the wire frames.

Knowing HTML Is Not Nearly EnoughEvery web designer is familiar with the HTML programming language, which stands for Hypertext Markup Language.

SIZE THOSE IMAGESHere is a reminder on a simple, but often overlooked part of the IMG tag: Use the HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes! If you are looking at a page of yours that is cached (stored) in your computer's memory, the problem created by not using them may not be so obvious. Here's the problem. Until your browser can finish downloading and decoding an image, it has no idea how much space on the page to reserve for it and displays only a small icon until the images is ready to be displayed. |
