I got my start in Web design back in the dark ages of 1995 as a Webmaster for
a regional ISP. I was responsible for creating a Yahoo!-type site, teaching business
customers the intricacies of HTML, and assisting with the marketing efforts to
sell this new product called "The Web." I created the Web site Web
Pages That Suck to get out of teaching a design course and when this site
became an Internet hot spot and started winning awards, I was given the opportunity
to co-author a best
selling design book of the same name. The book's success led to speaking engagements
and the obvious move into consultancy. As a consultant to Fortune 1000 corporations,
I've noted some interesting similarities in Intranets: Since access to Intranets is restricted from public view, I find it interesting
so many Intranets share common design mistakes. I've grouped these design faux
paus into something I call: Any suggestions I may make for improving an Intranet are just that -- suggestions,
not commandments from Mount HTML.
