As with any
design, it's good to know whom you're designing for. This is even
more important when designing for the Web because of the wide range
of equipment used to access the Internet. Your visitors may be using
Macs, PCs, Unix boxes, or homemade one-of-a-kind machines. Even
within a single platform, the number of monitor colors can range
from two to millions. And those are just the hardware differences!

| Provide an email link for feedback |
One
convenient aspect of designing for the Web is that its two-way
nature allows instant feedback from online visitors. People will let
you know if they think your design is working and if it isn't. To
facilitate this process, your site should provide an email
link so that visitors can voice their opinions and ask
questions. At the bottom on this page I have included "Contact:
Chris Miller" so people can contact me with problems.

| Design for the Your Club | If your site has a registration form, the information you collect from it can be very useful in planning or changing the design of your site. By asking visitors what operating system, modem, and browser they're using, you can get a better sense of how many graphics to put on a page, how wide to make your site, and so on. |
