Style Sheet:

  • Page Title: Use an H1 tag (Heading 1) and center it.
  • Sub Titles: Stick with Heading 2 and 3, used in order an not modified.
    • By using standard heading we make the site easily adjustable in the future.
  • Pictures: Should typically go on the right and have a width of 40%.
    • Using a % width makes them adjust to different size screens better.
    • They can have a max-width of the actual pixel dimension.
  • Write succinctly !
    • Web surfers skim more than they read. Help them skim. Bold some key words. Use lists. This is an information site, not a literary event.
