Sometimes we’ve just redesigned some pages of our web site. The pages have high search engine rankings that we don’t want to lose. How can we safely redirect web site traffic from our old pages to the new pages without losing our rankings?
We should set up a permanent redirect (technically called a “301 redirect”) between these sites. Once we do that, we will get full search engine credit for our work on these sites.

Upload .psd designs, download .html file and images. It’s that simple to create CSS compliant webpages.
Some web designers may not have fully knowledge to master CSS, and many of us are good enough with little bit of brushing and designing in PhotoShop. Now, I found a great website, PSD to CSS Online, which provide free service to convert PhotoShop creations into CSS pages online.

The 404 or Not Found error message is a HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server but either the server could not find what was requested, or it was configured not to fulfill the request and not reveal the reason why.
Some websites make their 404 pages cool and imaginative. They include fancy graphics, unique ideas, and even poetry to convey to the users they have reached a bad link. Not only that, they also provide a link to the home page, sometimes a search feature, and even an option to report the bad link, so you’re not left lost.
The following are some collection of creative HTTP error not found page design:

Nowadays, we can found a lot of online store which selling website templates at the low cost. Website templates are very affordable and they save you a lot of effort and time when you want to create a new layout for your website. However, many people make their mistakes in the process of choosing and using a web template and end up with something that was unlike the image they had in mind. Here are some guidelines to help you avoid those mistakes.
Avoid to use popular template
If many people use the same template, your website will not appear unique at all and your credibility as a solid, different website will be tarnished. In other words, you will appear generic just like your next-door neighbours.
Do not redesign the template beyond recognisation
To whole point of using a web template is to save time and effort. You just change the title and appropriate details and you’re done. The biggest mistake one makes is to customize the template beyond recognisation. While that may be good in the sense that you are creating a unique graphic, you are defying the very purpose of using a web template — saving time and effort.

I would like to present some useful analytics services, validation tools and monitoring services you, as web designer especially, should be aware of. Some “standard” tools – such as W3C Validators – are skipped; instead I’ve tried to focus on tools you probably don’t know that much about.
1. Check Your Site Ranks
Sitescore
This is probably the most prominent analytics tool in this overview, delivers a detailed report on dozens of various design-related aspects. Every single key point is evaluated and rated according to its performance on the scale from 1 to 10. Among other things Sitescore analyzes the quality of incoming and outgoing links, keyword density, page titles, plagiarism, popularity rank, the usage of popups and the effectiveness of site’s structure. Sitescore also grades the printability, readability, spiderability and usability of the page as well as spelling and W3C compliance.
