Things you do/do not want on your website.

Things you do/do not want on your website.

1. You do not want to put flashing or moving objects all over the page.
2. You want to use text and background colors that compliment each other and make it easy on the reader.
3. You do not want to use a background that has to much going on. It is a distraction and makes text hard to read.
4. You want to use good spacing and keep everything the same (dont switch from left to center to right).
5. If you have to put a warning on your page for people who are epileptic, its probably not a good idea.
6. Stay on topic. If your site is about puppies talk about puppies not the color of your shoes.
7. Keep the site accessible to everyone! Add tag to all images and aides for all people with disabilities that might hinder them from viewing the site.
8. Don't use so many images that it takes a long time to load.
9. Keep the site age appropriate.
10. Make sure the over all color scheme of the site complimentary of he text and images you use.
