Site Tips

Over the course of designing websites I've run into quite a few things that I wish I knew prior to designing a site.  I've chosen to create this section to try and fill you in on some things you might not now that'll keep you from making the same mistakes I did.



Don't Rush

A site is only as good as the amount of time put into it.  Keep that in mind when creating a website.  Also know that keeping a site running strong means updating often and keeping the site interesting and new.

PHP, CSS, other external files

Any chance you have keep the style of your site in one file.  This will make it easier if you choose to change the design and will save you a lot of time in the end.

 Top



Plan Ahead

Outline exactly what you want your website to achieve.  Without this you WILL end up after creating the entire website realizing something you should have done.  Going back to change it now will be very time consuming.

 Top



Review Your Site

Review your website when you're done.  Check that all links on all pages work, dead ends do not look good to visitors.  Make sure everything makes sense.

 Top



Know the competition

Familiarize yourself with sites competing with what you hope to create.  Know how they do what they do.

 Top



Conclusion

In the end, understanding code and developing websites is both fun and potentially profitable but there is work to be done.  I hope this site has given you the understanding of code and how it works and that you will now be able to create new websites.  If this site has helped you create a website please write me an e-mail I'd love to hear about it.  Good Luck to All.
