Website Usability And You
Visitors will usually scan a website for a maximum of 5 seconds before they decide to move on or stay and look around. Those 5 seconds are key to getting your message across and piquing your customers' interest. You want to do everything you can to keep your visitors at your website. Hard to read? They leave. Difficult to navigate? They leave. Too complicated? They leave. Your website is so vague they don't know what it is about? You better believe they leave. http://www.thedevweb.com/2004/1220.html

Web
Site Accessibility - It’s Just Good Sense
Most
of us already know it's good business to have a presence on
the World Wide Web. Since millions of people from all over the
world use the Web each day, having a web site is one of the
best ways to increase market share and audience reach. However,
even companies with a web site could be missing out on the full
potential the Web offers, if the content on their site is not
accessible to the widest audience possible. http://www.thedevweb.com/2004/1110.html

Culture
and Website Localization
With
the rise in ownership of computers and internet usage growing
daily, the internet is fast becoming the primary port of call
for information, shopping and services. In addition, those computer
and internet users are increasingly from non-English speaking
countries. At the end of 2002, it was estimated that 32% of
internet users were non-native English speakers. This figure
is constantly rising. In response, businesses have quickly become
aware of the benefits of website localization. http://www.thedevweb.com/2004/1015.html

your website taking forever to load because of all the heavy
graphics you're using? How long does it takes for a modest DIALUP
user to wait patiently for a website to completely load up on

Dynamic
Thumbnail Generation with PHP
The
Web is about self-service. To achieve success in self-service
you need to really understand how your visitors think and behave.
If they are to serve themselves they must feel comfortable and
confident. That requires getting to know their needs in a comprehensive
manner. It requires an ongoing conversation with them.

The
Three Core Principles Of Great Web Design
The
essence of a website is self-service. There are three core things
that self-service needs to get right: convenience, speed, and
price. Convenience means task achievement with minimum effort.
Speed means that you get in and out of a website as quickly
as possible. People are cheap on the Web. http://www.thedevweb.com/2004a/0414.html

PHP
In The Command Line
Ever
run commands in DOS? You've used a shell. A "shell" in the computer
world is a place where you enter commands and run files by name
rather than clicking around different windows.
Most web hosts let you operate a shell remotely. This means
that you can type commands in window on your computer, that
are actually run on your web host, thousands of miles away.
