(italicized words are the CORRECT ways for making a site "decent")
- BEWARE of SEIZURE causing pictures, images, backgrounds and videos!!!!
- Never include a website made ENTIRELY of a video/flash - make websites small and compact so they will load with relative speed, on even some of the slowest computers.
- Keep your webpages lengths down to a shortly navigable distance - don't make your viewer have to scroll down forever trying to get to the bottom of the page. Use varying links if necessary.
- Contrast is good on a webpage to help with emphasis and making content "pop". But, having a rinbow of colors that look like you grabbed every possible primary color out of a Crayola box and used that is not the way to make content "pop", instead its hurts the eyes and makes words very illegible.
- Bad Grammar and spelling can kill a website for respectability and accessibility. Check spelling and grammar CONSTANTLY.
- When including a "fancy" navigation system, i.e Zinc Bistro's of using the eggs as the hotspots, make the navigation buttons much more obvious to the viewer, not just suggested.
- Simplicity does not include correctness or completeness, just means the website can be plain and uninteresting.
- Non-working links, broken links, or just straight out, broken website should definitely NOT be included.
- Making a webpage so that it includes a horizontal scroll-bar. These are aggravating and completely annoying, the basic vertical scroll is all that should be needed.
- Making the ENTIRE website your only source of advertisement or marketing strategy.
