There are a plethora of Websites out there, each one unique in its design, its content, markup, features, functionality, and in myriad other ways. Yet, despite these differences, there are specific needs that should be met with near consistency, Internet-wide, regardless of the site. Let’s take a look at twelve of these common denominators. Below are the first six. They appear in the order in which I thunk ‘em up. They’re just numbered so you can refer to them more easily.

 This, like offering a proper navigation menu, may seem obvious, but it’s a big failing across the Web. From using tables for layout, to the improper use of breaks, to using a "big-bold" font style instead of a heading. Using the right markup for its designated purpose, without going overboard by stretching it usage, is useful not to not only accessibility and usability, but the practice of using semantic markup helps ensure forward compatibility. Truthfully, if you’re about to build a new Website and you’re planning on using tables and old practices, fuggedaboudit. You won’t be doing yourself or your client a favor if you don’t make peace with CSS and valid HTML 4.01 (for awhile) or XHTML 1.0/1.1. (A little accessibility awareness isn’t going to kill you either.) Web standards aren’t a joke and your cooperation in their adoption is of great importance.

By meaningful title I am specifically referring to the title element — what’s shown on the title bar of your browser. Ideally the content title should come before the site (this helps search users find stuff like your main content heading, instead of seeing your site name over and over again) and, if at all possible, each page should have its own title. This is an example of an effective use of the title element:

These two developments are linked. Society's dependance on the Web is affecting kids before they hit double figures. I've had the pleasure of showing my two young cousins the wonders of Google and watching their faces light up at the interactive content freely available to them. As more and more kids use the Web every day, they'll want to learn about the ins and outs of this fantastic tool and begin to dabble in HTML and CSS. The larger the user base, the more developers are bound to emerge.
