Website Advice from the Professionals



  1. Always take pride in your work. Whatever you are working on , you have to care for it.
  2. Clearly label and organise all your files, it will easily get complicated so naming your files folders and layers with sensible names will help.
  3. Its the little details that make it special, spend that extra time to focus on detail
  • Use rulers to align images, text and make your measurements perfect.
  • Symmetry helps a design look more solid, always sol, gutters, margins and spacing.
  • Always render your typefaces with 'none', have the font size, weight and colour on a place hold copy
  1. Always work with content, get as much as you can from the client but if not make it up
  2. Textures are a subtle but effective way of showing personality in the website, its a key for the user to understand the site.
  3. Gradients can increase a design, make things stand out on a page, don't be lazy.
