Learn HTML

There are many great WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) programs out there that make website design easy; however, I would strongly advise that you take the time to learn HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). When you design a site with even the best WYSIWYG programs you can always enhance it by adding some HTML code of your own.

I use Net Objects Fusion www.netobjects.com to design my websites and have been using the same program for years. It is easy to use and I really like its features, but I still add my own HTML to fine-tune the websites.

You can search the Internet for HTML guides and will find a wealth of information is available for FREE. You can teach yourself HTML in no time at all, just by using the FREE resources on the web. If you need more help you can always find books in your local library or bookstore. You will be glad that you took the time to learn HTML and your web pages will look much better.

Browser-Safe Colors

Not all browsers see colors the same way. There are different variances on Mac computers and Window computers as well as different monitors or web browsers. Without going into a bunch of technical jargon, in a nutshell it all has to do with the gamma settings and screen resolution. Here is a great resource with color charts for browser-safe colors.
