Extantialism “The Path to Website Harmony”

First Principle - To Thine Own Self Be True

“Look at your website objectively. If it isn’t easy to use and visually pleasing to even you, that’s a major problem.”

Second Principle- Please Turn On Your GPS Before Viewing

“Give your reader what they want….NOW.If they have to search like they are lost in the desert, they are gone””

Third Principle- Smile And Say Cheese

“If your graphics and pictures look like amateur night, so will you.”

Fourth Principle- Computer Speakers Fly Out Window, Film At 11

“If you want to make your readers angry, give them music or speech they weren’t expecting and can’t figure out how to turn off.”

Fifth Principle- Sunglasses Are Recommended

“Bright colors and flashy animation are good, except when they’re bad. If you distract readers from getting what they really want, information, then rethink your scheme.”

Sixth Principle- I Am The Great And Powerful Oz

“Check your ego at the browser. Talk less about how good you are and more about what you can do for them.”

Seventh Principle- Site Design By A Raging Tornado

“Less is more. If your site, especially your home page, looks like an overstuffed utility closet exploded, it’s cleanup time.”

Eighth Principle- My Nephew Ate My Website

“If you let a family member build your site, 9 times out of 10 somebody’s feelings will be hurt”

Ninth Principle- The Maestro Will See You Now.

“If your designer doesn’t take the time to ask you pointed questions about how you visualize your site, then you’ve got the wrong designer.”

Tenth Principle- Old News Ain’t Good News.

“Keep your content fresh and updated. If your site never changes, there’s really no reason for readers to return.”
