This guide is meant to brief the reader on creating clean, creative, and quality web sites that grab your attention and make an impression. What this guide is not is an HTML tutorial. To learn more about that subject, visit the NCSA Beginner's Guide to HTML

Please note that this site offers one opinion on the topic of good web page design and has been designed to enlighten interested parties about how to create a successful presence on the World Wide Web... the smart way. These are not rules written in stone, because rules are meant to be broken and sometimes we bend the rules just a little. However, there are too many examples of web sites that demonstrate poor design and bad style. These lessons should give the beginning web designer an idea of how to avoid turning a good idea into a bad result. We've include all the tips and tricks we've learned and let you know what works and, more importantly, what doesn't work.
