Tips/suggestions for creating a better site!

  • Use SVGs for images whenever possible, especially for your logo!
  • Always provide a good thumbnail for your publications. Use a figure from the source, or if there are none, a journal logo or issue cover. Here are some best practices for making a good thumbnail image.
  • Put a section break before every # Heading 1 and ## Heading 2 to visually break up your content and make it more readable.
  • On your contact page, put a mailing address for mail/deliveries, AND a navigation-friendly address so people can find their way to you easily.
  • For your header/footer backgrounds, use an image that's not too busy or distracting so people can clearly read the content on top of it.
  • A square version of your logo without text and with tight cropping (small or no margins) will look the best.
  • Leave headers/footers the default dark background and use a light version of your logo. Having dark headers/footers makes them stand out from the default light background of the main page content.
