Make Your Website Suck Less

http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9605.html

Here's a site I found that gives a brief summary of what can suck in your website. I sure that we have all made at least a couple of these site mistakes in our first web sites. But hey, we're just beginning so learn from this and make your websites suck less.

Changing Up The Fonts

Being designers, our clients are going to expect certain things from us. One of them being that we don't use standard type fonts. Whether it be web design or magazine layouts, we as designers are going to need to keep in mind to change and customize the fonts no matter how small they may be. If we use a common type make sure its for a reason and that it matches the style of the rest of the project. For giant text boxes, for example, it's acceptable for us designers to use more common fonts so that it's easy for readers to understand the text. Keep that in mind throughout our design days.

CSS3 Jquery ToolTips Helper

 As we finish up this semester, we have come a long way in learning web design and coding.  I can’t emphasize enough how many wonderful tools are out there available for us to make coding easier.  I’ve used many different resources to help accomplish the neat elements that I want for my site.  Button makers, pattern makers, jquery, etc.  This link is another cool resource, specifically for editing tooltips.  Tooltips are something I haven’t desired to incorporate yet into my sites, but this would be a great future reference!  The code is easy to read and color-coded and it seems very detailed and simple to follow.
