How to be web 2.0
So you want to bring your website out of the stone age and into the future? Web 2.0 can help you here. We here at TweekCorp enjoy shiny new things and are always looking to the future (one way or another). This quick guide put together by our web team is here to help.
Colour Scheme
First think you need to know about web 2.0 is less is more so more is cool so you will be wanting 4 colours here;
For our example we shall be using the D’ni Jazz Club site as an example.
Before we forget you will also need to use gradients, because no site is complete without them.
Tag
Web 2.0 optimizes content using tags to make it easier for people to share information and post cool articles on their blogs, so remember to tag everything you write.
Now that you have tagged all your content you need a web 2.0 tags navigation section like so;
Images
Web 2.0 loves minimal design so big images are often a no-no, instead we use small images and not to forget that ones site would be nothing with out the magical web 2.0 star graphic.
Feeds
No self respecting web 2.0 site would be seen without an RSS feed, how would your visitors syndicate your content on their blogs?
bake for 2.0 minutes
So now it is time to combine all the elements and there we go, you are now web 2.0 make sure you validate your XHTML and CSS.
congratulations welcome to the future of the web remember for those who don’t believe us? just take a look at our web 2.0 dnijazzclub.com site below.
