hey TW! Tip: Design first, then create

"white space" is your friend use it often.

make sites fast loading and don't just fill it with bloated crap to show off your skillz.

no dinky OR ginormous text.

After I started my first website back in 1997, I was visiting with a retired IBM website programmer. Asked him one thing he could teach me.

it best always to start with a white, clear piece of paper.. adding to it only what is required to achieve completion of a circle.

His answer was look for sites I like, then look at the source code to learn how to do it.

one word: accessible

that kind of site!

I don't know anything about web design, but this is a really helpful thread. Thanks you guys!

omg janechin I couldn't take my eyes off the page...mezzzzzmerizing

flash is pretty to look at, but takes forever to load

its better to put black text on white, than the other way around.

say now to marquees and blinking text. (my eyes hurt from the thought of it)

*say no

anyways, good luck!

clean code

reminds everyone to make sure the people with color vision problems can see what is on your site. it is more common than you think!

Perform ten quick tests to check the website for accessibility.
