Josiah Cole » Blog Archive » 19 Things NOT To Do When Building a Website
1. DO NOT resize the user’s browser window, EVER. I know you can, I know you feel really cool when you put that little Javacrap on your page and like a little miracle the browser window resizes to your wishes, but NO. You see this atrocious web technique mostly with spam sites and when “designers†design websites. That is, someone in the photo/video/art industry who “also makes websites†(see #6 for more on that), but in reality has no idea how to make a successful ecommerce website.
If you’re thinking of developing a web site or web application, go, read, and obey.
Number one certainly gets my goat. I’ve disabled javascript resize in Firefox because way too many artists (musicians and photographers mostly) think it’s cool to push the browser out to full screen. If you think your layout looks good at 3200×1024 then someone needs to smack you upside the head with a +5 hammer of design sense.
