Tip #1:
Place all style attributes inside a CSS document and link to it using the following code:
This will allow you to make site-wide changes and only update one file. If you have a look at this site’s source code you will notice this.
Tip #2:
Avoid using JavaScript all thoughout your site.
JavaScript should only be used where it is absolutely necessary, for example:
Text Here
There would be no way to make any JavaScript execute when the user clicks on the text. The doSomeAction function should not be inside the webpage, but instead should be linked to the webpage using the following code:
All the JavaScript functions, variables, objects etc should be placed into this file. Please be aware that any script placed inside these tags will not be executed. Take out the source (src="somejavascript.js") to allow script to be placed between the script tags.
Tip #3:
Follow the XHTML Standard.
The XHTML standard was designed not only to help computers and devices use the web, but people to design webpages. Following the XHTML standard will help you solve errors on your site that may arise, and even prevent errors from happening.
You can checkout the XHTML standard by checking it out on w3schools XHTML.
Tip #4:
The index page is your most important page. Make sure you have an index page for starts. Secondly write up some good content and don’t have the loading time too high. Remember that first impressions mean everything. If people are interested in your products, or what you have to say then they won’t mind waiting a little longer for your page. But make sure their first visit is a good one!
