When creating your web pages, you can link each assignment to the
handout document you created in Word by entering a link on the
assignment page to that document, so the pages open in their own window.
Create an important links page (some sites like Filimentality,
Schoolnotes, etc. already have
that in their templates).
Always update your pages regularly - add new links, check old ones
Under Construction signs - the whole Internet is under continual
construction.
If you have a page that is not ready for prime time, simply cut the
link
to it until it is.
Slow web page download - usually due to large graphic files
(more than 50k worth of image files on the home page and 100k of image
files on sub-pages).
Problems with links - broken links, missing graphics.
Too many different fonts, font sizes, and/or colors.
Too many visual distractions: animations, blinking text.
No design elements or no consistency in design elements.
Too much text - not enough white space, too much scrolling, no
Table of
Contents, no Links to the Top at regular intervals.
Top Ten List of Good Web Design
Little text on home page and plenty of white space.
No more than three 8-1/2 x 11" pages of content on any sub-page.
The first screen (what appears in the browser window when the
page first loads) has enough in it to identify all important
navigation, links and interesting aspects of the page.
A consistent web site theme.
A clean, easy to read and navigate layout, design and color
scheme that is relevant to the target audience and to the content.
A prominent header or title that incorporates a combination of
graphics and links.
Page footers with a duplicate set of links to other web pages in
the site and basic information about the origin of the page, e-mail
contact, and date of last revision of page.
Use of table of contents (index) and anchored (targeted) subheads
at top of page for quick content scanning.
Only essential images that download quickly and support the
content are included. (no more than 50k worth of image files on the
homepage and 100k of image files on sub-pages.)
