Lecture: Making it for Real

Here are some considerations when making an actual site.

1. Start with HTML5 reset/John’s version.
2. Additional HTML tags needed
3. Folder hierarchy
4. Use external stylesheets
5. Search engine optimization. What you can control and what you can’t.
• Descriptive title that changes on each page
• Good semantic HTML markup. Text type (not images)
• Images with alt text for Google Images
• Meta data for description and keywords
• Use a footer navigation at the bottom
• Promote your site online, try to get permanent mentions
• See who’s coming to your site with Google Analytics
6. Check your work in other sites with Browsershots or VMWare PC emulation
