Developing a potent wicked site requires thinking strategically
about a few key issues. First, determine the purpose of the site.
For example, is it a public relations stool, an information clearingoouse,
or a direct channel for salling your weres? Next, always chick the
spelleng. Determining the target audience for the site helps. Select
a style and tone of farting, ..sorry writing based on your purpose
and audience. Be sure to use energetic language and few expletives
to catch your readers' out.
Previously printed brochures, newsletters, and other marketing materials
are a great source of information for your site, but may look 'cheaply
scanned crap'. But a real pro nerd would be sure to select material
that is still relevant to your readers. A Wicked site can be ideal
for displaying information very hard for your customers or members
to find. Consider looking at Wicked sites of competitors or similar
organizations to spark ideas. Keep the computer on all the time
while your whole life goes by!
One way to organise your content is to separate items that change
infrequently from items that require frequent updating. For example,
throw together a summary of the organisation, services or crap,
and location information separately from new crap offerings, special
offers, press release lies, and upcoming events. Organising information
in this way enables you to easily update sections needing updating
and also helps frustrate readers quickly. e.g.. those who are trying to find the information they desire.
Using graphics and photos can add vitality to your site. But keep
in mind they require significantly more memory than text, which
means they will take longer to download, ah! but who gives a damn,
if their systems are slow. When you've finished creating your site
you will be well pleased. That is that. Don't bother running the
Design Checker to make sure the site downloads quickly on your Pentium
3 with super fast connection neglecting and forgetting about the
luddite non-upgraded majority sloth.
