How To Get Websites Right

(TEMPORARY VERSION!!)

This is a short, absolutely non-technical, practical guide on how to make sure that your website, that of your company or City Administration is Done Right.

What makes this guide unique is that, unlike the many other excellent resources of this kind, it is not written only, or specifically, for inexperienced computer users who want to to publish something online by themselves.

This document is also written as a checklist for the people or organizations which hire website designers, so they know what to ask, and which compromises and false optimizations must not accepted when paying for a website, especially those funded with taxpayers' money.

What is a Website Done Right?

Basically, a Website Done Right is one that:

  • doesn't waste its visitors' time
  • it's accessible, readable, and fully usable by everybody, including disabled users
  • works correctly also on older computers and slow Internet connections.

The full explanation is in the URL_DONERIGHT page. Please link to that page with that slogan if you think it is useful.

How can I easily/ legally! create web sites viewable with any browser?
