IN OZ WE TRUST!
TrueCash’s Chief Designer presents some helpful tips that will make your site faster, more visually appealing, and hopefully more profitable as well:
If your sponsor allows it, further optimize their animated banners by dropping less important animation frames in your favorite .gif editor.
It’s important to make sure your <font> tags contain not only PC fonts, but common fonts like Helvetica used on Macs and WebTVs.
In order to increase your visitor’s exposure to advertisements, try leaving your ads outside of tables, but place your “free” content in nested <TABLE>s.
Rather than having large pages with multple sponsors, try arranging many smaller pages with simple, direct messages to your visitors.
Try using small “onLoad” pop-consoles with simplified text links.IN OZ WE TRUST!

Try using small “onLoad” pop-consoles with simplified text links. Make these load in the background where visitors will find them later as they are closing other windows.
If you need to censor images, place your “Click here” or calls-to-action over nipples and genitalia. (It’s where their eyes are heading anyway!)
If you want to succeed, follow these tips, and the others you will find in Design Corner!
