10 Essentials for Building a Solid Web Site:
Usefulness
In some ways this is the most important tip.
Every site should fall under one of the following
categories:
1. Informative - Offer information about
a trade, a product, etc. Offer educational
materials. Be a resource of some nature.
2. Service Oriented - Offer a service (search
engine, downloads, auction, etc.), sell a
product, or advertise a company.
3. Entertaining - Self explanatory. Humor,
multimedia, etc.
If your site doesn't fall in one of these
3 categories, We implore you to abandon the
project before you waste any bandwidth. If
you're going to put up a web site, only do
so because you feel you have something of
value to offer the general public.
We're sure you've run across a web site,
and asked yourself, 'what's the point?' You
wouldn't want anyone to ask the same thing
about a site of yours, now would you?
