Guidelines For Building Web Sites A tutorial Link from Astahost

I was cruising through the Xisto Forum this morning and found this really good bit of information about guidelines for Site Design and thought I'd share it with all the fine folks here at the Trap.
None of these suggestions are "required" for your sites, but they are highly reccomended suggestions about designing for the web.
If you read this forum, read the whole thing, because the replies add to the original topic post and all are valid points.

Enjoy.

Xisto Guidelines for GOOD web design

That is some really good stuff you have there jlhaslip. Thanks for posting it here. I have also committed those web design crimes but I have learned my lesson. That is a very good resource for beginners who might need some help. What I need to do is get everything looking the same in every browser. Tough thing to do. I also need to make that feedback form but sadly my site is still messed up and I can't access it.

Yeah these are nice tips and people everywhere seem to tell me more or les the same things. Thanks for sharing dude.

Very good guide for begginers. Al lthe important basic rules, and if you scroll down ion that psot, there's alot more great info and tips from other members.People should always follow these rules. . . .. other wise they cna face my wrath if they want a review in the showcase forum

very good guidelines people must keep in mind, very good points in that post, i think it will help site builders in initial expectations when building their sites here on Xisto. I keep 3 simple rules to my websites or simpel theoriesKeep it cleanFully functional and serves it's purposeGets the message out that your trying to deliver/achieves it's goals in a ery simplistic way that all users can understand with little to none problems.

Alot of things that people just get messed up in! . ... Very Very good resource, although, it all depends our experinced you are, and what your doing.

Thank you for sharing this. Those are the common mistakes made by webdesigners who are just starting or beginning. But I have to remind you too that these are just guidelines. You can follow them all the time, but you would end up conventional. It still depends on your targer market, and how you really like your website to get noticed. Sometimes, breaking the rules and guidelines give you more visitors. Your site becomes contoversial and might end up in the list of worst website, but arleast you are still in the list.
