What are guidelines for writing a RHPS web site?
As was said previously, your own RHPS web page should have something new to offer, other than the same old photos and links on 90% of the other Rocky sites. What follows are some guidelines that, in my opinion, should absolutely be followed: • Use a background graphic that doesn’t vary drastically in color, tone, or brightness. This doesn’t mean it needs to be flat black, but if you’re going to use red, try to make all of it shades of red. Drastic changes in background colors make text difficult to read. In the same vein, use a contrasting color for the text so it is easy to read. • Use large graphics in moderation, and by all means, use image sizes in your code. Having scores of photos from your show is fine, but do not put them on your main page, or even all on the same page. They just take too long to load. Include links to individual photographs using text or a thumbnail image. Remember that fancy animations are amusing for about 30 seconds; after that, they start to get annoying.
