HTML Dog

Great reference site for the beginner to the experienced web designer. I will use this site as reference in the future

Content management

This article explains how Content Management works. It gives you several different choices in software from almost free to very expensive. The final goal of any Content MAnagement is to make it easy to create web content so more people (employees) put things on the web.

accessibility

This site gave you important information dealing with accessibility. Making it easy for all people to use your site. Examples were to underline links, use alternate text for graphics, choose your colors correctly to avoid information being lost by colorblind people. Looks like a great site. Lot's of good links.

(Proto)Type-Cast Yourself

Good article not sure how to implement it I did get out of this that: A prototype is a model of your finished site.

Wireframing

Interesting technique I perseve the fireframe as an outline of your website entirely on paper using only words. This answers the what when how questions.The wireframe will act as a complete text-only version of your site.

Behind the Scenes:

Interesting article that gives you different choices on how to set up your web page. I will refer to this article in the future

BSA CYBER TREE HOUSE

Fun colorful site I love how everything is on the page no scrolling required. Contact us opens in a different window. Does not use forms not many sites do. Great graphics and colorful for kids. Music can be turned on / off which is good because it was annoying.

The Hamptons

Great site!! I like it It loads fast. A lot of information great information if you are loking for visitor information. Best Town/city information site that I have seen. Easy to get around.

National Geographic

Very busy home page. I don't like advertisments. Lots of links. The site is very busy. Search brought you out of National geographic site. Site map excellant. Each link brings you to an index about that subject I like that.

Rural Vermont

Spent alot of time at this site. I love Vermont. Spent every summer of my childhood there and went to college there. Mos tof the links were not working. Error messages. Search did not work either. Error 404 Page not found. Does not seem that it is maintainced very often.

SandPippers

The one link brings you to a site that is framed. I liked the fact that the links all open on a different page easy to get back to where you started. Easy to use.

360 Alaska

Thought I was at the wrong site!!!! A girl in a sand chair in Alaska? I would have thought mountains and snow. I do not care for popups however I guess they can be effective. They popped up everytime I clicked on a link. Don't care for sites that just bring you to other sites.

Whole Health MD

I like the banners on the top of each page are color cooordinated with the link. It was difficult to find the home page again after leaving it. Bright and colorful other than the home link It is easy to get around

Save the Light

Great site. I like how the Header Banner is the same throughout the site. Home page is very colorful and I like the letter from the chairman explaining the imtentions of the site. I also liked how they asked you to come back to a page that was still under construction.

NGA

this is a very large site Again I do not like the gray links and everything in gray. BLAAAA. I did like the fact that they used a site map. (had to with such a large site)

PBS-Birds

I love this site The colorful bird attracts my attention and invited me to look at the site somemore. I did however feel that the pages were too long. I think I may have broken them up with links to other pages. Interesting site Made me want to read on.

IRS

WoW What a busy site. The home page gives alot of inforamtion. Maybe too much information. Dufficult to get around the site and find what you are looking for. TOO BUSY

Fat Duck

As soon as I accessed the web page I thought BORINGGGGG. I did not like the gray background nor do I like the even lighter gray links. Every page that I linked to was the same and boringgggg. I did like the graphics that were used on the first page however they could have been livened up alittle.

Title: The 10 Biggest Search Engine Optimization Mistakes: #5 No H1 Tags’

Author: David Bain

Date: N/A

Article Source: http://www.article2k.com

Site Address: http://www.articles2k.com/related/html-tags/

This article briefly discussed the meaning of H1 tags and its importance to many search engines. The article recommended that H1 tags be utilized instead of the now more popular image-based headings. The article explained that web pages that contain text-based headings (H1 tags) are more likely to appear higher in search engines compared to web pages that use image-based headings.

I learned that when designing a web page it is important to design your page not only to look good but also be search engine friendly.
I believe that the information in this article will be useful to me in the future
