Dual/Tri Screens for Website Design – up 30%?

Lately I have been doing a fair bit of website design while down at my girlfriends house. The problem with this being the size of my laptop. It’s only a 13.1″ screen and is quite difficult to do any sort of design on. I do manage, but I struggle.

At home I normally use a better setup, my home-built quad-core desktop with dual 24″ monitors. (Yes, I did get identical, I had to)

Where would I be without these 2 monitors?

My top 5 website Layouts

When it comes to designing websites, one of the early stages is to decide on a layout. Picking the wrong layout can be disastrous for the website. The layout needs to have enough space to display the relevant information, while maintaining the usability of the website. This is why I decided to blog about what layouts I mainly use and therefore my top 5.

What should I include in my website footer?

I find the footer of a page really useful for summarizing the contents of your website. The footer is a place where people will look for quick information. For example, they want to find out what country the website is operating from or want your address. The footer allows this information to be easily accessible, making it an overall more user friendly environment.

After reading what others thought should appear in the footer on a page, I thought I would write about what I think should be there.

It outlines a few aspects of website design that should be avoided. After spending quite some time browsing quite a few websites, I decided I would have a go and list my own! Anyway, here we go.
