  • Please check the loading times of the website. Invoking a page on the web often requires loading a lot of extra files; large files, such as high-resolution images, cause longer load times.
  • Ensure the compatibility of the website with different browsers. Users use different browsers to view a page. Therefore, it is important that accessibility can be guaranteed. In general it makes sense to develop the website W3C-compliant. A good way to identify and then fix potential problems is to validate the markup.
  • Keep an eye on the user-friendliness of the website. The usability of a website makes a significant contribution to presenting the content in an interesting way. Scientific topics can take on a high level of complexity, so it makes sense to think about the structure and navigation of the page before starting any development work.
  • Scientific work.Even with an Internet project, the sources should be cited and listed in a directory.
  • Work with hypertext. Make use of the opportunity to set links to make more information available to readers. This makes sense especially for reference data.
