2. Managing a Web site; maintaining files and folders on a Web server

• Before you begin a website it is important to plan for expansion
• Be prepared to revise if necessary (and it will be necessary)
• Know the rules of your server and checking in and out files before you begin

3. Navigation and site structure

• No matter what page a user is on your site, he shouldn't have to guess where he is
• Include a way for users to get back to familiar territory if they get lost
• Don't get cute. Just because you understand what you meant, doesn't mean that users will

4. Photoshop; photos and graphics for the Web
