Intro to Webpage design - 5/21/00
by RW Spisak Jr.

1. Concept First
    without a design idea - tools and technique alone will not suffice
2. consider who is your target audience
    aim your technology and your elements to addressing the needs to your audience
3. consider the framing of your pages
    640x480 / 800 x 600 / 1024 x 768
    Remember the screen is horizontally oriented rather than portrait
4. Organize your attack using a Outline technique
5. Think about the weight of your home page
     text elements + graphic elements + your formatting techniques
     (whether framing or tabling)
6. Where can you get text for your pages:
      wp software files: exported or extracted
      accounting or other applications: exported or extracted
      Email or Other Webbased resources: copied or reformatted
7. Font tracking limitations - cross platform/browser
8. Browser limitations & constraints - TEST/TEST/TEST
