Building Internetsites

		Hy folks, here are some links and tips to build internetsites. It`s not for beginner. You have to have an above-average understanding of coding internetsites in different languages. Greetings Mat Planing it ---------> BEFORE: - do you need flash,javascript or just pure html? -java,vb and activex should be depreciated - should it be a dynamic or static site? - do you need frames (try without, because of crawling machines and console browser like lynx or w3m) DESIGN: - one fits all - optimize it for 800x600 pixel (yes, they still exists) - no more than 600 words per site - only default fonts (preferred: sans-serif) - min. 60% contrast from background-color to font-color - no hard-coloring, prefer floating-coloring INTRO: - do your really need one? - if so, do not forget the "skip intro"-link NAVIGATION: - place your navigation elements on every site on the same place - let your visitor know where he is and how he comes back - include different ways to navigate - and remember: max. 3 levels of submenues REROLL: - analyse the preferred navigation method Coding it --------> DOCTYPES: - different doctype definitions for netscape - doctype and css specifications for ie STYLESHEETS: - howto use different stylesheets for different browser - compatibility table of css2 for all browser CHECK COMPATIBILITY: - [http://validator.w3.org] # checks the html-conformity of your sites - [http://browsers.evolt.org] # old browsers like ie 3 or netscape 2? MANUALS: - php-manual - html/css/dhmtl-manual - mysql-manual SOURCEN: - hotscripts - expect everything you need - opencube - one of my favorite javascript menue IMPORTANT METATAGS: - <meta http-equiv="expires" content="0"> # deactivate browser cache MAKE SURE: - full use of alt-tags - use external stylesheets - no more than 70k per site - clean code (as example img-tags ever with width,height and alt)
