web site

[simonm]

So after much thought ive finally decided to get a website up and running. easier said than done! trying to come up with ideas and things to put on it arent as easy as it seems. do you go into detail or keep it simple? think i should stay away from web design!

I used to do them in the dim and distant...

 

Basic rules are keep it simple and clean unless it's a technical site.. lots of white space and short words. Ideally make it obey rules of accessibility (but that's less important now with browser capabilities) Check cross browser comparability and mobile phones.

 

A few scattered small pictures you can always click to enlarge is better than huge one's. Stick to what the site is for - no one really cares if you got a certificate for underwater snooker at age 9 .. BUT do supply lots of links to related sites and try and get back-links from friends etc..

Search engine optimisation is the key part mate... google has some good articles on it
