Also remember to set a background colour even if you use a background picture as not all users download images. Under construction signs All good sites are updated and expanded constantly, but the signs are not shown. Links to pages should be included when that page is complete. Under construction signs are often left at sights for many months, leaving users very annoyed. 6 Frames Be careful when using frames, they are designed to help the navigation of a sight, but they often only confuse your visitors.
Tables are often a much better and more versatile way of splitting a sight into sections.
When frames are necessary, consider using inline frames, but these do not work with some major browsers. So many sites suffer from misuse of moving elements. It is very tempting to cram as many animations, marquees and blinking sections into a site as possible, but this will take away from the information's content. Blinking text and marquees are both hated by many in the net community, especially as they are browser dependant. Animations draw attention to a part of a site, but they also take attention away from other sections.
