Now this is for those of us that work on any kind of website. Even if you havent gotten into the whole web design thing its till good to look at.

The 8 C’s to web design-

• Context – Aesthetical and functional look and feel – contemporary, traditional, hip, edgy, utilitarian, emotional — the “how” of site design. Color, humor, focus, graphics.
• Content – Any digital subject matter on the site: text, video, audio, and graphics — the “what” of site design.
• Community – A feeling of membership in a group and a strong sense of involvement; shared common interests — the “why” of site design.
• Customization – The site’s ability to tailor itself to a user or to be personalized by each user — the “touch” of site design.
• Communication – Dialog between the site and the user — the “muscle” of site design.
• Connection – Extent of formal linkages between the site and other sites — the networking of site design. This is becoming very important as people are becoming more comfortable with using web sites to gather information and make purchases.
• Commerce – The actual sale of goods and services on the site — the commerce of site design. If the primary focus of the web site is to sell, this becomes paramount to the design.
• Color
