Double Checking Your Work:
Just a short guide on website design for Newbies. Vol. 1

This guides topic – Double Checking Your Links Before Publishing and Advertising your Website.

I recently put together a section on my main site with 50 original Christmas stories (check out my eBay About Me Page to see what I’m talking about).  I used a generic template and copied and pasted each story into the page, saved each one as a separate file name, and uploaded it to my site.  I published these stories because it was Christmas season and to generate Traffic to my website.  I didn’t double-check my work and found out 2 days before Christmas that none of the links to my main website worked because the pages were in a subfolder on my web server. 

The point of this tip is simple; don’t do what I did, even if you’re a professional web designer make sure you double check that your original links work before moving forward.  A simple 30-minute job ended up taking over 2 hours of my time because I had to fix it twice. 

Designing a website doesn’t have to be hard, but being overconfident can make the easiest job a real pain in the butt.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this guide, I’ll be posting more web design tips each time I screw up on my website.  If you’ve experienced any stupid web design mistakes contact me and let me know.  I’d love to feature them in one of my guides.

Thank you,
