    Copyright
    If you design, produce or write anything, copyright law applies to the end subject. You don't need to be well versed in law, but a basic understanding could potentially save you wasting a lot of time, energy and money.
    Design Considerations
    There are many factors to take into account when designing a Web presence. Here we\'re going to take a look at some of these factors which influence Web Site development.
    Development Planning
    It is vitally important, especially when designing at an advanced level, to pay particular attention to the whole process of Web Site Design. This means spending time with your client, and then back at the office, setting out a logical procedure for accomplishing the project. So, don't fall into the trap that inexperienced designers fall into, of just opening Notepad, or their HTML editor, and setting off, invariably without any real idea or direction.
    Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics
    I've just seen an advert for an estate agent in a local newspaper and in a large, bright panel in the middle of the page, are the words - Our website receives 462,000 hits per day.
    Online Privacy
    Online Privacy - how to protect yours.
    The Psychology of Colour
    What should, or could we consider when deciding the colours we use on a web site. A few things are obvious:no clashing colours, and observing business corporate colour schemes which needs to be incorporated and complemented. But should we consider the psychology of colour? Maybe we already do, but do not realise it. Consider sayings such as Green with envy or Pure as driven snow. After all, it is only the study of human reaction to colours.

    Virus Infection
    This is becoming like Groundhog Day, I’ve started writing this several times but can’t quite get what I want. It started out as a small piece on internet privacy and security, but got so large that I have abandoned the original in favour of writing a little of what can happen when you get a virus.
    Web Site Hosting
    You have your site ready, all you need now is somewhere to put it. You need a host. As with many things, you have a choice.
