I don't consider myself any great shakes in the Web Design field. I don't think 'code is poetry', I think it is an inconvenient pain in the ass that I have to wrestle with in order to get what I want.
The thing is, that puts me in exactly the same basket as the vast majority of you. People like me, working away on our sites, feeling our way forward. So I am going to begin a series of articles about web design for people like us, where I will explain things simply in language that I understand, and avoid talking about the brain-frazzling nightmare that is code whenever I can.
There are so many pitfalls waiting to trip up people like us, and frankly the web is chock-full of unscrupulous companies and scam-sites that are just waiting to take advantage of us. Look at this example: I found out that I needed a site-map that would be search-engine friendly, in order for my site to be more highly rated. OK, so, I am a supporter of free, so I went looking for a free site-map generator.
