Hey Chaps, Being a professional web designer, I used to read articles in this discipline and recently got a superb one and thought of sharing it with you..

Here are 15 important website design tips that you might not be aware of or have overlooked. Consider taking advantage of them if you haven't already done so...

1. Custom 404 Pages
Create a custom 404 web page, so that any time your website visitor mistypes or misspells a URL on your site, they will still be provided with navigation options for your site (instead of getting nothing but a "Page Not Found" error message, which is neither friendly or helpful).

2. Redirect Non-www. To www.
Website visitors will often leave out the "www." portion when they type a URL or link to your website. Set the website up so that it automatically redirects any non-www version of your domain URLs (http://domain. com) to the www version (http://www.domain. com) of your website.

3. Properly Sized Graphics
Size and define all graphics and images on your web pages properly and correctly. Web pages will load quicker if the graphics contained on each page are properly defined so they don't require the web browser to re-size them. Properly sized and defined images can reduce the web browser workload and speed up the page loading time.

4. Favicon
Add a Favicon (favorite icon) to your website, so that your company or product logo appears in the URL box. This icon will also show up in a bookmark list, and gives the web site an added level of professionalism.

5. Include RSS Auto-Discovery
If you offer an RSS feed for any content on your website, be sure to include auto-discovery code in the header of your website. This will allow many browsers and RSS readers to automatically detect the presence of an RSS feed and alert the visitor that it is available.

6. Alternate Domains
Domain names are relatively inexpensive, so you should register multiple domain versions and extensions in order to protect your brand. The varied domains can be parked on the main website, simply to prevent others from obtaining them. Registering alternate domain versions will help protect your brand.

7. Consistent Navigation
Navigation should remain consistent on a website. As a website visitor moves through the website, the navigation bar should remain in the same place on each page. This will make it easier for visitors to navigate your website, and become more comfortable as they move through your site.

8. Home Goes Home
The main graphic, company logo, or "header" at the top of the site should be included on every page in the site, and should always return the visitor to the home page of the website. This has become a web standard, and most visitors now expect to return to the main page of the site simply by clicking on the main top graphic from any page within the site.

9. Copyright Notice
Include a copyright notice on the bottom of each page contained on the website, and keep it current! It may seem trivial, but an out-of-date copyright notice can send a message to your visitors that the website and its content may be out-of-date as well.

10. Meaningful File Names
Use meaningful file names for any files, graphics, or web pages. Many search engines look at file names as part of their search algorithm, and using keywords in file names may help to improve search engine rankings.

11. Hyphens vs Underscores
When naming files and webpages, use hyphens (i.e. web-page.html) rather than underscores (i.e. web_page.html) for the file names. It is much easier for search engines to separate and index the keywords when hyphens are used.

12. Alt Tags
Use ALT tags to describe what images represent on web pages. ALT tags not only assist visually-impaired visitors in knowing what the images are, but they also help with search engine ranking.

13. Spell Check
Use a spell-check feature on the text of all web pages in a website. A website that contains mistyped or misspelled words just shouts "unprofessional". Take the extra few minutes necessary to check the spelling of text on each page of your website.

14. Test
After making changes to a website, test it! Many times, a webmaster will upload changes, confident in their abilities, only to later discover that in their attempt to fix one thing, they have "broken" something somewhere else. Make testing a habit after making even the most minor changes!

15. Keep It Simple
Simple is good. Remove unnecessary clutter and distractions from a website and navigation menu.

...
Good luck mate..

TIA for your response.

Hi Guys,

I have owned one website, Can anyone Get me some good Tips for get traffic to my website ??

Hi people,

hopefully you can help. I've made a website for a artist-run collective here in Edinburgh, Scotland and everything is getting under way. I had a few questions with some issues I have been encountering and perhaps you could send me some information on if there is anyway to fix this.

http://www.modular9.co.uk/

That's the site. Some things aren't up yet but you get the idea. The main issue is with the index page anyway.

I have used a collection of image paths and rollovers and if you take a look at the source you'll see my very basic, yet required, html/css.

One of the issues is the delay in rollover. I understand it is because it is loading a whole image each time you rollover the tally marks, but is there any way to speed this up? Or use a script that isn't as ineffective as javascript? I don't mind the delay but I know that the rollover is meant to exist so I give it a second or two, but people coming to the site for the first time might not notice the navigation and leave :/

Also, on some of my friend's computers at college, when they click on, artists, or the about section, or contact, for example, the background doesn't show up as the colours I put down. Is this because I used css to do so? Are there actually some browsers that can't take css yet?

I know it's a bit vague and a general query but any tips and things would be great to make the site more effective and smooth running.

Hope you are all well.

I am wondering if it is possible to create an INDEX.HTML to redirect to another website?

I would like it to display the redirected site, but if possible keep to the original address..

e.g.
A site named www.mysite.com, with an INDEX.HTML to redirect to www.othersite.com, which displays OTHERSITE with www.mysite.com in the address bar.

Hope I explained ok, any responce would be much appricated!
Thanks!

Ok, so here's what I'd like. Any help would be greatly appreciated.



I would like a url to load in 1
I would like a constant, stay on top, stay at top, follow your scroll, area where 2 is. I would like to be able to place content where 2 is.

3, I would like to be able to edit the length of the content area.

5$ via paypal for first person who helps.

Thanks again.

hello all

im all new to this HTML so hopefully everyone can understand me

im just playing around with HTML at the moment using notepad to learn whats what but i cant find a way of putting images or tex in the middle of the screen by it self it all just stays on the left handside?

can anyone explain or give me the code for it please.

also if anyone knows of any good starting books or software to help me on my HTML quest

cheers

Hy I'm new here and new to everything that's related to webdesign and coding so maybe I have silly questions but that's it!,and also sorry for my english - hope you will understand what I have to say.


I work on this ImageCube http://keith-wood.name/imageCube.html but I would like to make it like this one http://www.cancan.ro/ with previous/next buttons and with thumbscroller.

I know my question is related also to jquery but I will be pleased with the answer regarding only html too.

I succeeded to make both previous/next buttons and the thumbscroller to work somehow but I can only make them functioning properly one at a time - I can't make them to function properly both in the same time.
I know to make this things work only like this so if you know a better way to do it just tell me.

Whatever values do I put either in html or javascript can't seems to work like it should.
For example in this case like in below all thumbs and both directionButtons get the first value from document in this case "0" which is uluru.jpg.So,in another words (in this case from below) whenever I click either on whichever of the thumbs or on whichever of the directionButtons the Cube repeatedly rotate the Uluru image.

I tried all kinds of variants -to put different values but in neither cases don't work well.

So if you can help me I would much appreciate it,and if you have other ideas please give me the entire code because like I said I'm very new to all in this field.


HTML Code:

<body>

        <div id="directionCube" class="cube">

			<img src="img/uluru.jpg" >
			<img src="img/islands.jpg" >
			<img src="img/gorge.jpg" >
		</div>
   
          <div id="thumbs">
            	<input id="direction" value="left" type="hidden"> <input id="next" value="0" type="hidden" /> <img src="1_thumb.jpg">
               <input id="direction" value="left" type="hidden"> <input id="next" value="1" type="hidden" /> <img src="2_thumb.jpg">
               <input id="direction" value="left" type="hidden"> <input id="next" value="2" type="hidden" /> <img src="3_thumb.jpg">
              </div>

<script type="text/javascript">
		$('#directionCube').imagecube({direction: 'up', repeat: true, pause: 3000, shading: true});

		$('#thumbs').click(function() {
			var cube = $('#directionCube');
			var next = parseInt($('#next') .val(), 10);
			cube.imagecube('change', {direction: $('#direction') .val()}).
				imagecube('rotate', next, function() {
					$('#current').text($(cube.imagecube('current')).attr('title'));
				});
		});
		
		</script>
        
             
                <input id="direction" value="right" type="hidden"> <input id="next" value="" type="hidden"> 
<img id="directionButtonRIGHT" src="control_right.jpg">

<script type="text/javascript">
		$('#directionButtonRIGHT').click(function() {
			var cube = $('#directionCube');
			var next = parseInt($('#next').val(), 10);
			cube.imagecube('change', {direction: 'right' , selection: 'forward'}).
				imagecube('rotate', next, function() {
					$('#current').text($(cube.imagecube('current')).attr('title'));
				});
		});
		
		</script>
        
        
        <input id="direction" value="right" type="hidden"> <input id="next" value="" type="hidden"> 
        <img id="directionButtonLEFT" src="control_left.jpg">
        
     <script type="text/javascript">     
            $('#directionButtonLEFT').click(function() {
			var cube = $('#directionCube');
			var next = parseInt($('#next').val(), 10);
			cube.imagecube('change', {direction: 'left', selection: 'backward'}).
				imagecube('rotate', next, function() {
					$('#current').text($(cube.imagecube('current')).attr('title'));
				});
		});
		
		</script>

I want to make my own web site for a computer game that I play. It will basically have custom made content for download for other users. I have an idea of how I want the site to look but I have no idea how to take it from Photoshop and actually make it my web site. I looked at the tutorials on here but I must be really computer dumb because I cant for the life of me figure it out. Is there anyone here who could help me maybe if i show them what I have created?? I cant afford for someone to make it for me but maybe someone would be nice enough to help me out??

Thanks

Hello, i'm a business manager for 2 different up and coming businesses within the UK. On one of our sites we have widgets we are putting on the site displaying news from a few different organisations within the environmental sector.

I have 5 or 6 widgets in total I am using, and when I put the widget codes into my boxes on the page I wish to have the information displayed on the website, they appear vertically on top of each other, meaning that the page becomes very long with the widgets on there.

What code should I use to get the HTML code to know that I want the widgets to sit next to each rather than in a line down the page? I hope you understand what I mean, things involving websites are not my primary business activities so my knowledge of terminology is a bit lacking.

Regards,
Sean

Hi folks. I need some help with an HTML site I am trying to make, so please do me a favour and hear me out. I should add that I know some simple HTML stuff (ie. I can make simple pages no sweat), but am pretty quick on the uptake.

What I am trying to do is make a HTML page to keep track of orders for my small business. The layout is pretty simple- I need to make a form where I can enter orders as they come in (simple info- cutomer name, order size, that kind of thing), and then have the form publish the order into a queue/chart of some sort. Then, I need to be able to have that published order queue somehow accessible/editable so that once an employee has finished an order, they can confirm that the order is indeed finished, as well as include notes about when it was finished, where the order is in waiting in the warehouse, etc. Finally, a page essentially the same as above, but this time to confirm shipping with notes about shipping company/time, etc.

Hopefully this model came out clear, and someone can point me in the right direction of how to go about getting this started. It by no means has to be pretty- just functional. Can someone give me a brief tutorial about how to make the forms and have them publish into some kind of master queue?

Html email does not display image background in Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo and MSN, i am using PHP code.. the images will not appear when sitting it as a back ground in the TD. but i am sure with my file path, it will only display if being coded as <img src=images.jpg>

Hi All,

Wondered if I could get some help.

I have wrote a simple HTML script to create a simple Pro-Forma for cusotmers to fill out a few things.

I also have a SUBMIT button that what I want it to do when clicked is automatically send the data from the form to an email address.

So far I have managed to get the SUBMIT button to create an email with the email address in the to and the data in the subject.

However I want it to auto send without the cusotmer seeing and also when the data is copied into the email it is just all linked together seperated by & signs.

I am new to this and cant seem to get it to automatically send and wondered if anyone could help

Thanks in advance
