Simple principles

• Design for fast loading. People with "slow"
  connections to the Web get bored when pages load
  slowly.
• Design for clarity. Make it easy for people to
  find what they want using the fewest clicks
  possible.

3
Simple principles

• Make navigation simple - Let people get from any
  page to any page within your site.
• Dont have more than 70 of a page text. People
  read 30 slower from a computer monitor than from
  the printed page.

4
Page length

• Don't make your pages too long. People don't like
  to scroll down too much.
• People do like to push buttons. Consider using a
  word or image to go to the next page.

5
Images

• Don't use large images or too many images. They
  might be pretty, but take forever to load.
•  Don't use many animated GIF's. Too much screen
  movement is distracting and they're slow to load.

6
Linking to other sites

•  When you LINK to other sites - Open a NEW
  BROWSER WINDOW, or you've driven people OFF YOUR
  SITE!
• Use the following html
• lta hrefhttp//www.nea.org targetrightgt

7
Edit your site

• Spell check your site. Mistakes are embarrassing
  and don't reflect professionalism.
•  Check for broken links. Any errors will just
  irritate people.
•  Try different browsers.
