What does Victor like?
Victor likes a lot of different things, but there are a few rules of thumb.
- Don't overload the pages with graphics, It's so easy to fill the screen with pictures. One (1) picture
say more than a thousand words, a thousand pictures just says you like pictures (and that internet
providers like you).
- Choose a concept and stick to it. Ten different backgrounds on your ten pages might be justified, or
more likely annoying.
- If the contents of a page streches over 3 or 4 or even more screens, divide and conquer.
- Victor likes fast loading pages. The means to achive this are many, the fastest method is to "kill your
darlings". Get rid of those images and frames and java applets and worst of all animated gifs, that just
take time to load. If it's there they should be justified and most important of all, looking nice.
