Can anyone give me tips for Website designing

[webmasterhelper]

Hi,

I need some good information for website designing , help me people

1. screen size for pages is around 1024 pixel wide (some say 800 pixel wide), thats only because you either have a wide vertical content system or a double column system if its 800 pixel wide for the content.

2. If you place information into a TABLE system use TBODY for control.

3. You should use XHTML but if its not proffessional at least use html4.01 DTD system and do not forget to commit the declaration tag at the start of the page.

4. control your link <a href= target= CSS styling for decoration, font size and the transportation action.

5. FLASH is only for banners and .flv movies, don't blast everyones browsers to ...!!!....
with excess loading. Note: try to make menus by DHTML if you know how to, do not use FLASH.

6. Try to keep the content style a system of two font sizes as much as possible with the main bulk of content or readable the default(BODY tag CSS declared size) size.

7. remeber to use HTML enities, do not place special URL ENCODED symbols in the text.

8. with html4.01 be sure the HEAD tag has lang="en-US"(e.g.) attribut

9. all these metas should be in the head
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
name="description"
name="keywords"
name="phrases"
name="robots"
name="author"

Note: for real and intricate information, buy a web design magazine from the newsagent shelf

What type of information are you looking for. The question is rather vague.

Are you looking for coding advice (eg. HTML, CSS), design advice (as in visual design, layout, color scheme etc), or something else.

I find one of the best ways to learn how to design websites is to take someone else's site that you like and tear it apart and find out how they coded it. You'll find a lot of different techniques that you may not have previously known. There seems to be multiple ways to do everything on a site, so how you do it is up to you.

An easy way to download complete websites including all HTML files, images, CSS and Flash is to use Site Import. Just don't scrape someone else's site and republish as your own though!

For CSS you need to download the CSS2 specification documents at the
http://www.w3c.org site.
There are 3 versions, only 2.1 and 3 are particularly relevent now the web has xhtml and
HTML 5.0(recently).
The documentation has tutorialisation with it, so it will assist not simply tell the
attributes and settings.
Look in the domain page list on the left column for the technology interface name/initials.

My advice as far as THE design would be keep things simple and don't over do it.
