mistakes

I have recently been creating a website for educators in my local area that will provide resources and and a forum for people to bitch about their jobs. In doing so, I wanted to find out what not to do with website design, and a lot of the opinions are similar:

chill out with the frames
to hell with any scrolling banners
don't use big-ass graphics
don't use ambiguous links
no huge welcome signs

I also play bass guitar and I was finding out some info about a bassist, Victor Wooten. I think his web designer should have done a search like I did

http://www.victorwooten.com/

The site I am working on is

http://www.rgveducator.com

Sorry, I did use a small frame at the top, but I have yet to figure out how to easily link my forum back to my main page. It is simple, but I was mostly concerned with the forums (brand new, so don't be surprised to see very few members). Let me know how bad it sucks.

mine or his

hehehe...did you just submit your own website into the worst website archive???

Ryan Fait · Dec 14th, 2006, 00:25

The first link.

JacobHaug · Dec 14th, 2006, 00:27

hehehe...but he did put both in the archive...probably a bad ideal...lol

It's kind of weird seeing all those cities/towns that I've been to on that list. I've been to about a fourth of them.

JacobHaug · Dec 14th, 2006, 00:36

hahaha...and the sites were built by you, and then they chased you to another town, and then you start yet again...lol

jaybass · Dec 14th, 2006, 00:45

yeah, maybe this wasnt the best place to put a link to my site, but I know it kinda sucks, and who better to say it than me?!

what brought you way the hell down here?

JacobHaug · Dec 14th, 2006, 00:47

I am just thinking of Google and how good of rankings webforumz gets, and how bad that might make your website look, you might want to edit it...but then again...whatever...lol

Haha, naw, I just went on a road trip last year with some friends to Southern Texas and Mexico. I ended up meeting some distant relatives that only spoke Danish. It was a weird trip.

I doubt Google takes any positive or negative "points" from sites that are listed in this forum. My site is listed in every post I make here...

JacobHaug · Dec 14th, 2006, 00:51

hahaha...ok, that came from like no where...lol??

Ryan Fait · Dec 14th, 2006, 00:53

JacobHaug · Dec 14th, 2006, 00:55

Would I ever lie?

Ryan Fait · Dec 14th, 2006, 00:58
