ocPortal Tutorial: Do's and Do-not's of an (ocPortal) website
Written by Chris Graham, ocProducts
This tutorial will detail a few of the do and do-not's of running a website powered by ocPortal.Table of contents
Do
- Use a clear colour scheme that is easy on the eyes
- Make it easy to navigate your site: people should not need to think to find where to go, it should be obvious
- Provide good, fresh, and new content on your site; or if you are making an aggregation site, content that is organised in a unique way
Do not
- Make a website that is too busy, as it will be slow and will distract from your site message
- Use every ocPortal feature on your site just because they exist
- Plaguarise content: if you use other peoples content, credit them
- Make a website solely based on the work of others, unless it really is something people would want to visit over other existing websites
