I gave a presentation to my BBC group last week, giving some tips and guidelines for how to make a website more effective. It’s aimed towards the non-technical person, though implementation of much of the advice would likely require a designer or developer’s help. However, I thought it might be a useful resource, especially if you’re in the process of creating a new website, or revamping an old one.

I’m in the process of adding a little bit of explanatory text to each entry, having finally succumbed to the wiles of exposition in the “do I or don’t I?” conundrum, and as a result, I’m adding some pieces that might have seemed a little off-kilter without proper narrative.
