Songtext:

Your site design (is) the first thing people see
it should be reflective of you and the industry

easy to look at with a nice navigation
when you can’t find what they want it causes frustration

a clear Call to action to increase the temptation
use appealing graphics they create motivation

(if) you have animation
please use with moderation
cause search engines can’t index the information

display the logos of all (the) associations
highlight your contact info that’s an obligation

create a clean design you can use some decoration
but try to prevent any client hesitation

every page that they click should provide and explanation
should be easy to understand like having a conversation

create a site-style you can use imagination
but make sure you use correct color combinations

do some investigation, look at other organizations
but don’t duplicate or you might face a litigation

(design) you’re done, congratulations: start construction
move on to production, please follow these instructions

your photoshop functions then slice that design
do your layout with divs make sure that it’s aligned

please don’t use tables even though they work fine
when it come to indexing they give searches a hard time

make it easy for the spiders to crawl what you provide
remove font type, font color and font size

no background colors, keep your coding real neat,
and tag your look and feel on a separate stylesheet
better results with XML and CSS
now you making progress, a lil’ closer to success

describe your doctype so the browser can relate
make sure you do it great or it won’t validate

check in all browsers, I do it directly
gotta make sure that it renders correctly
some use IE, some others use Flock
some use AOL, I use Firefox!

title everything including links and images

don’t use italics,
use emphasis

don’t use bold, please use strong
’cause if you use bold that’s old and wrong

when you (use) CSS, your page will load quicker
your client satisfied like they eating on a snicker
they stuck on your page like you made it with a sticker
and then they convert now that’s the real kicker
make you a lil richer, your site a lil slicker
design and code right man I hope you get the picture

what I’m telling you is true man it should be a scripture
if it’s built right you’ll be the pick of the litter

everyone will want to follow you like twitter
competition will get bitter and you’ll shine like glitter

if you trying to grow your company will get bigger
design and code right man can you get with it!

Design Coding!
