- The website should have
- appropriate content,
- good navegability, and
- interesting style.
- The content should be accurate, of interest to a certain target audience, relevant, timely, and current.
- The website should be easy to navigate; it should be fast to load and show a clear path from link to link (portal to subportals
to actual pages).
- The style refers to the appropriate use of colors, backgrounds, patterns, shapes, and images.
- Navegability can be enhanced using an adaptation of the
Dewey Decimal Classification System (DDCS), which numbers main categories (first level)
from 100 to 900, and subcategories decimally thereon (Example: second level, 310 to 390; third level, 3101 to 3199).
- Use color palette (http://color.sdsu.edu) to choose colors for design.
- The best operating system is Unix and the best webserver is Apache.
- The command-line entry (using a terminal window) is more reliable than the graphical user interphase (GUI).
