What advice would you give to somebody about to build their first website?

I think I would advise them to look at sites that they like, as well as some of the top sites in the field of interest that the site is addressing, and try to understand why they like them... IE, easy navigation, nice design, good content. Then, try and apply what they have just learnt to their own web site.

Oh, and don't use frames... or the or tags, and test your site in as many different browsers (IE and Netscape versions 4+ I would say now), and on as many different platforms (PC / MAC / Dreamcast browser!!) as possible.

Dammit, too much to say... anybody else got any hints / tips?

Turbo, wouldn't bother me in the slightest. But you have a lot to prove everyone now... we'll see.

That Simon kid was only 12! I think that's a fair effort for a 12 year old.

You can convince them not to do it. Liek newbies, there are far too many "web designers" around these days who think because they know how to handle a they're good. They need to be put down, I tell you, otherwise the whole net will be plugged up with creations like Simon's.

Some people just haven't got a clue... don't know if it's narrowmindedness or just they don't want to learn. What can you do?
