I have held off until now at giving you my 10 design standards that I use when laying out pages, because you should reach your own goals. I believe my previous lessons should have put enough spark into you that you've already jotted down on paper your own site map or even better put together a functional website either locally in your PC or actually uploaded to a Shell Account for the world to see. No matter what you have done prior to this chapter, I hope you'll follow along with these designing tips which work for me. I suggest you find your own style and stick with it, but for the sake of this lesson plan try working close to my design theory. Design a page that you will visit often.
Nothing is worse than a page that is dead to the designer.
Update it periodically so that the viewers know that it isn't an abandoned page. If possible include links to related sites other than yours. It's always good to move people along to other sites. This simple tasks makes your site seem larger than it is and it adds to your site credibility.
