Well this page is here to help you in what ever your conquest may be. Now I personally am not the web designer to end all web designers. And you might not agree with my ideas placed on this page. The purpose is just to give you an idea of what me and a few others feel are the do's and don'ts to web design. Weither others agree to this or not is anyone guess. This page is of a simple design, no fancy graphics or backgrounds, just a bunch of text collected for help. I figure there's no need to be fancy if I'm trying to help someone out. It might confuse them or something.

Sound good? Well then lets get started. But first so you feel comfie getting tips from me here are my reasons for doing this page. I'm an 18 year old College student, I've been designing web pages for about 3 years, maybe more. I started making my own graphics about half a year after I started building pages. I'm curently getting my Graphic Design certificate. People have been asking me for help in building web pages... I'm more then happy to give it but i'm getting tired of answering the same questions. So I decided to make this page.

Ok that should be enough. If not then i'll give you some links to other places on the web I have used to help me deisign pages. I've found them usefull. One them I consider the Web Page design holy bible!

Now... choose your tutorial. I am only covering the bare basics. What I consider the bare basics are what i use every time I start a page. Things like Frames and java I wont cover {personally i only use them when I have to} so if you're looking for more advanced things and not things that really will only just start you out use one of the links I give at the bottom of this page.

First things first || Very Basics || Colors || Putting up a background ||
Fonts and manipulating text || Putting up images || Adding Links || My idea of No No's ||

You may have noticed this page has some spelling errors. I left them intentionally so you can test out one of the links below I'm about to give.

I've found these links quite useful.
Website Garage it spell checks your page as well as checks the Download time. If you don't have a page at this moment run any protion of this page through it to see how it works.
HTML Goodies the place I consider to be the Web design bible. I love this place! I wish I had known about it when I first started! Now when I have the occasional brain fart I use it.
