5:30 Design Tip

Sometimes you know what kind of a Web site you would like to publish. When you do I highly suggest visiting other sites of the same genre. This will help to motivate you. Not only can it give you ideas, it can also show you what not to do. Once you have visited plenty of sites, draw out what you want to see. Then visit a few more sites. By doing this type of research and preparation you are going to ensure that you have a well thought out site when you are finished.

Be sure to include in your sketch all of your menu options. And don’t forget the freebie sites that you want to utilize like YouTube, Blogger and MySpace. Make it fun, simple and unique and people will visit time and time again!
