In this podcast I mention some of the best webmaster forums on the internet. I have seen hundreds of them! Of course, each messageboard will claim that they are the best, but I know which ones offer support for web designers including the rules by moderators.
Here is a list of some of the things I look for in a web design forum or messageboard?
-
How knowledgable are the people offering the help?
-
How often do people visit the board and offer their support.
-
How nice is the variety they offer?
-
Are they just language based, software based, or both?
-
Does the messageboard offer support on the latest web technologies.
Those 5 questions are all I look for in choosing a messageboard for your web design needs.
Let’s face it; designing a web site is not difficult, but HOW you design a web site with all the option IS. You need all the help you can get. I have been designing web sites for over 10 years and I still look for help on these boards, but I also offer it. Yes. I am one of those support people too. You have to reciprocate on these forums.
