Old School Guide: Web Design Tips

This page of itself is not an example of design, it is only meant to disburse information for someone looking to improve their web site design. A lot of the content provided here assumes you already know how to edit HTML and maybe a few codes.

When you feel your site is established and presentable you may apply for our Web Site Award. This is where we review your site and give you tips on how to improve. If you win then you get one of our graphic awards to place on your site. For more information see here.
