Little Words Mean A Lot
July 19, 2010 – 1:22 pmThe developers at Smashing Magazine are versed in all programs and the transient dynamics of code. Nobody can keep up, and that’s just factual. We all know, however, that two sides exist to every coin, even the Canadian ones. As Niels Matthijs notes, developers can slip up and make errors. He feels that naming conventions and constructing better HTML templates will translate into better websites. I’ll highlight a sample of subtopics for the uninitiated.
The Bare Necessities Of Semantics
Nowadays with Google Caffeine, content must be recognizable to all kinds of crawlers and search engines for full SEO optimization. The engine just debuted, so its effectiveness must be intensely tracked in order to make a proper assessment. If Google Caffeine hits, then surfing the internet will be a much greater experience and e-commerce stands to benefit.
Think Components, Not Pages
Websites should have common components that fit together than a jangled collection of pages. In order to achieve this feat, developers need to focus on a single component at a time. When one needs to write the HTML code for a product, check each wireframe for product variations. Then one can write a code that handle the existing variants. This model will be solid and can be used anywhere.
