Design
There are a few things to remember when you design a website for the whole world to see.
Color & Content.
Color
When deciding what colors to use, make sure to use colors that are NOT similar to each other. Putting a blue font on a background causes nothing but frustration and squinting.BLINK!!!
Some good websites to find what colors go with what.
These two websites helped me pick out the color scheme for my background. They are easy to use and helpful in finding which colors work with others.
Content
When deciding what to put on your web page you have to ask yourself some questions. With some help from Berkeley here are some pointers:
"Who is my website for?"
"What do they want from the website?"
"What do I want from the website?"
"What can I realistically provide and maintain?"
