| MEMBERS: | ABC's of Web Development
Here are the simple ABC's of web development. A. Graphics Graphics is very essential in web development because this is what visitors gauze your site if it is worthy of their time. So what really makes a graphic to be effective? First, the graphic should be small. Consider using images that are 10 to 12 KB per image because if you will use larger images, it will slow down your site. Visitors to your site will likely to leave if your site takes too long to display so it is better that you use images that are attractive and easy to load. Second, when it comes to graphics, you have to use images that have direct relation to your site. You would not display an image of Hollywood artist to promote the product you are selling, as this will cause confusion to your visitors. Lastly, blinking graphics are not ideal in web development because blinking objects are really annoying and distract readers. More often readers leave web sites with excessive flash or blinking objects most especially when these objects hinder them from reading the whole web page. B. Advertising Advertising is lifeline of web sites and you have to handle them effectively to ensure success of your site. When in comes to advertising, you have to remember two things, the number of ads and how related it is to your site. The number of ads should be just enough to give room to other contents of your site. If they are overlapping contents of your site, then maybe that is why your site lags behind in web searches. Next, you should only post ads that related to products or services offered. If they are related, your readers will likely to open the links to your ads but if they are not related the ads might not be opened. In the end ads generate income but if they are driving your visitors away, then maybe its time to remove some of your ads and just stick the ones that are related to the content of your site. C. Web Content Content is also another essential factor in success of your site. It will be better if you have articles that your visitors can read on a daily or almost weekly basis. Informative content will likely to increase your visitors as they will bookmark your site and then send your links to other friends and family members to invite them to visit your site as well. But for others to recommend your site, you really have to offer not just ads or graphics but rich and informative content. For example, you are selling a product, it will be better if the site not just offer the products but also give tips on "how to-" like how to choose, how to use and where to buy. Meanwhile, if you are maintaining a web blog, make sure that the site is readable and the topics being discussed are really interesting.

Website Accessibility - Need and Basic Guidelines
Website Accessibility means the website accessible to all the users in the web including visitors with disability. Many website owners know that their website is available in the internet for visitors to access information but possibly may not know whether their website is easily accessible and even be unaware about Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). According to Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), all the business should make their services accessible to disabled users. There is also a section in DDA which addresses that if a business offers an online service, even the information is on a single page, then the business is responsible for making an effort to make this information accessible to disabled users. All new websites that are designed and developed should now follow the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) against which the accessibility of the website is measured. But when the website is found isn't complaint, then anybody can sue you legally, if they want to. By following these guidelines, you enhance the professional look of your website, provide access to visitors who previously had not no choice, thus increasing your business prospects and finally not to forget, your business is legal. Some basic Guidelines to increase the accessibility of the visitors Validate HTML and CSS: To check if the HTML and CSS used is valid, W3C validator can be used. It is necessary that websites are checked as the validator automatically tells you about any errors and accessibility issues in the web pages. Image and alternative text: For browsers which don't support images, alternative text can be used to explain what the image is about as the user will only see the text. Resize font text: Most of the internet browsers use Internet explorer to search for information. If the size of the text can be increased by choosing the font size to the largest then it means that your website is accessible to visitors. Use of Java script: Websites are not easily accessible when java script is disabled. Mostly people have the java script support switched off, if that's the case then make sure that you use the Java script sensibly and unnoticeably. Check for the following, 1. Website is accessible without the use of a mouse 2. Website has a Sitemap 3. Website has link text relevant to the content (blind users use tabbing while browsing websites from one link to the other)
