Some notes on website construction

• It does not benifit you to make things hard to find. When people go to a website, they have things they want to find out. Putting things where they should not be is not gonna help you.
• Making the navigation confusing/disappearing only pisses off the user. Deal with it and hire a real programmer.
  
• Putting a ton of flash in there does not make it perfect. It makes it flashy. People want information, not flash.
• note to all people: having a dark blue background with black text is not good. I get that dark blue is a fashionable background, but please. Make it readable. The last thing you want is a lawsuit from the ADA people.
• Putting apply now buttons over pictures is pointless and looks cluttered.
• Think before you color code. Mustard yellow is not your friend.
• We get you spent a lot of time on your spiffy powerpoint presentation. However, it's bad as a website. Websites do not need scrolling text or sound effects or gigantic lettering or incomplete sentences in bullet points.
  
• putting things into italics does not make it more important. Putting things into italics makes people squint and get frustrated.
• Do not put pictures in for the sake of pictures. And DON'T use clip art, just cause it's available.
• Do not put all your information in pdf files. They suck. Put it in html pages, people will thank you. You can include them as an option for pdf files, but do NOT do them exclusively.
• Don't be pretentious.
  
• ...And apparently, don't piss off ATT.
