Usefulness
In some ways this is the most important tip. Every site should fall under one of the following categories:
- Informative - Offer information about a trade, a product, etc. Offer educational materials. Be a resource of some nature.
- Service Oriented - Offer a service (search engine, downloads, auction, etc.), sell a product, or advertise a company.
- Entertaining - Self explanatory. Humor, multimedia, etc.
If your site doesn't fall in one of these 3 categories, We implore you to abandon the project before you waste any bandwidth. If you're going to put up a web site, only do so because you feel you have something of value to offer the general public.
We're sure you've run across a web site, and asked yourself, 'what's the point?' You wouldn't want anyone to ask the same thing about a site of yours, now would you?
