  1. The website should have

    • appropriate content,
    • good navegability, and
    • interesting style.

  2. The content should be accurate, of interest to a certain target audience, relevant, timely, and current.

  3. 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).

  4. The style refers to the appropriate use of colors, backgrounds, patterns, shapes, and images.

  5. 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).

  6. Use color palette (http://color.sdsu.edu) to choose colors for design.

  7. The best operating system is Unix and the best webserver is Apache.

  8. The command-line entry (using a terminal window) is more reliable than the graphical user interphase (GUI).
