how not to design a website

Author: Colleen

Some of the websites I see on the internet look like they haven’t been touched since 1997. I’ll admit, I was one guilty of creating a homepage on Geocities (cringe) with a theme-y background and cutesy graphics and…*gasp*…an embedded midi file. But I have changed my ways, and I have seen the light.

Check out this little video I made about how NOT to design a website, and then check out osCommerce Templates for some really great, sleek, professional looking templates. I absolutely love what I see!

    This rocks! Great job!

    I had to laugh at the “don’t use tables we can see” thing, though, since some of the osCommerce templates do, too. Using visible tables is not a bad thing, when they’re in an appropriate place. :-)
