Finally I create subdirectories for each page, and image directories inside each subdirectory.

Now, when I start creating my pages and graphics, I save them in correct directory. I can check site in my browser, and any missing pictures or broken page links will show up straight away.

Once my site is up and running, I make sure I keep my mirror image of it up to date, then I don't get any nasty surprises when I upload changes.

I can also view my site without having to go on-line if necessary.

Happy site building!

Common Misspellings - Another thing to remember is to include common misspellings in your pages for your search engine to find. You can include these in normal keyword meta-tags or, often, in search-engine-specific meta-tags (FreeFind and Atomz both allow for these special tags). This will help direct people to exactly correct pages.

Helpful Forms - This is a little tougher, but when someone includes incorrect data on form it's quite common to simply say "bad data" and force them to re-enter everything or guess what is incorrect. It's much smarter to clearly show exactly what is incorrect, and to allow visitor to enter only incorrect data again instead of whole form.

Don't break BACK button - Or any other browser control, for that matter. Your visitors should be able to back up, move forward or refresh their display at any time without any issues.

Keep Everything On One Page - If an error occurs, be sure error message is displayed and form or whatever is included (filled in with user's previous values) on same page. You want to prevent your visitors from having to back up or scroll to get to form.

Highlight errors - When errors occur (especially in forms) be sure to make mistakes stand out when you redisplay so they can be easily picked out from rest of page. It's also a good idea to include helpful hints on how to correct problem.

Conclusions - The more you can help your visitors get to useful information and such, more likely they are to come back and to recommend your site to others. So be sure to include contingency planning in your, well, planning.
