3. Create side navigation menu - to build left side navigation I use normal CSS code for different links ie

a:link {

text-decoration: none;

}

a:visited {

text-decoration: none;

}

a:hover {

text-decoration: underline;

color: #FF0000;

}

a:active {

text-decoration: none;

}

If links are placed elsewhere on page they will inherit same properties as above..a blue link that hovers to red. What if you wish to create another set of links that are a different color and on passing your mouse over them they are underlined.

4. Create bottom navigation - to include this in

8. Web page background - a colorful or busy background can make your text hard to read and may give impression of an inexperienced webmaster. If you do use a background image make sure it complements your site's theme, fits with your visitors experience and will increase your credibility.

9. Use correct fonts - offline world primarily uses "Times New Roman". This works well in print but not online. Sans Serif fonts, such as Arial, Verdana and Helvetica are best fonts for easy online scanning.

10. Font colors - best colors for reading online are black text on a white or off-white background. If you want to use multiple colors only use a maximum of 3. Too many text colors on a web page make it hard on eyes and spell inexperience. To emphasize text you can use bold tag (this text will appear bold) or italic tag (this text will appear in italics).

11. Check spelling and grammar - run your page through spell check in your word processor. It won't pick up all mistakes, so make sure you read it through yourself to find other errors. Spelling and grammar mistakes convey an unprofessional impression.

12. Simple navigation - main purpose of navigation bar is to make it easy for your visitor to find his way around your site. Place your navigation bar on left side or top of your page (or both). Repeat bar at bottom of page so your visitor does not have to scroll back up to move on to another section.

13. Get a critique - don't fall in love with your writing and leave it there. Yes, it's hard to listen to someone criticizing your beautiful piece of work, but swallow your pride and get your friends or family members to do a review of your web page. This will help you to refine what you have written and make it appeal to a wider audience.

14. Use specific keywords - weave targeted keywords into your web page as you write your web page content. I'll cover "How to Write for Search Engines" in Part II of this article.
