 | It's nearly spring and that's when many people start spring cleaning their houses, but your website can probably use a clean up as well. Often the longer a website has been live the more things are displayed on it, in sidebars, in the navigation, in the footer, even within the content area itself. But if you learn how to simplify and de-clutter your web pages your customers will appreciate it. Did you know that I've been writing about HTML, CSS, and web design since 1997? I have hundreds if not thousands of articles on the site that have just as much relevance today as they did when I first wrote them. You can find them by searching the site, or more simply by browsing my article library. And if you can't find the answer to your question, you can always suggest an article or ask a question in my web design and HTML forums. Please forward this newsletter, in its entirety, to your colleagues, coworkers and friends, anyone you think would like to learn more about web design, HTML, and web development. | |
Learn to De-Clutter Your Web Pages
Web pages can be difficult for people to follow. By removing all but the most critical elements of any given page, you help your readers get more out of your website. Learn how to get rid of the things that are cluttering up your web design.
| Improving Your Website
Improving your website isn't just about putting up great images and awesome content. If your website is validated as correct HTML, that will improve how it views in many browsers and insure that your site will be viewable in the future.
| CoffeeCup May Not Win Four Years in a Row
It was starting to seem like a given that the CoffeeCup HTML Editor would win the About.com Readers’ Choice Award for Best Windows Web Editor. But not this year, at least so far. Right now, Website X5 Evolution has a commanding lead. But there is still time. Dreamweaver could pull out of third place, Komodo Edit or NetBeans might still get the votes. Just because X5 is in the lead doesn't mean they are going to win at the end. Have you voted today?
| Poll: Do you test your site on multiple web browsers?
Okay, I actually do understand the impulse that causes Web developers to design and build their sites for one browser (and often one operating system). After all, it's a lot easier than trying to design for everyone. Who's to say that a customer hasn't pulled out an old TRS-80 and written their own version of Lynx for it (as well as networking and so on) and is browsing the Web with that. Should I, as a Web designer, build my site to look good in that browser? To be honest, I don't think you should. But that doesn't mean I should leave that customer out in the cold.
