Re: What not to do on your homepage!

I would also have to say no pop-ups as they are so annoying.

  So right you are! I almost forgot!

(This can of course be done with the <Table> tag, for those of you who
don't know :] )


Thank you!

Further more there are a few things that shouldn't or should be done, to
warm you guys and girls up a bit:

    Not using flashy or psychedelic backgrounds.

    No neon, or other wise inappropriate colors.

    The content: should contain more then your favorite links.

    Go easy on flashy JavaScripts and java.

    If the page is bigger then scratch it would be a good idea to make at
site map.

    Not using none standard fonts in formatted text.

    Make the page easy to navigate.

    Not using frames unless it serves a purpose.

    Synching colors and images.

    Avoid using "bad" images.

    Avoid animated GIFs

    If the site has a specific point [like mine], try to keep to it.

    Leave adequate author and organization info.

    All good sites are under constant construction, so no "under
construction" images
    [but maybe "under reconstruction" images... :) ]

    Update info and links[!]

    Even if your not satisfied with your homepage, don't splash it all over
the website...
    because it won't do no good :]


As always... sincerely
