  1. A generally good article, but I don’t think there was any piece of wisdom or advice given that wouldn’t also apply to adults. All it really comes down to is ‘know your audience’.

  2. More and more children in a smaller time to start access to the Internet
    To tell the truth all of us adults do not come to accept things a bit to let them go too early to know me a headache
    So concerned is necessary in this regard

  3. It is interesting that you put in this article that we should not patronise children by using “my,” but instead avoid confusion by using “your.” However, ever more sites aimed at the general (adult) think they can get away with being patronising referring to “my username” and “my password.”

    Are we adults supposed to be unable to tell who is talking? We are not talking to ourselves about the abstraction of the site we are using; we are being asked for our credentials by the site’s owners.

  4. Today kids are attracted towards flash and vector graphics that are visually attractive and informative. Images and 2-D animation reach them faster than providing formatted texts.

  5. To stimulate the registration of children on the site, possible after adding to the site some additional functions interesting for the children, who are accessible only with the presence of registration on the website.
    For example to create a mailbox, a children’s forum, to offer to create the first personal blog, organize competitions and quizzes.
    Important that the children’s web design contained the maximum quantity of the pictures, elements of flash web design, all instructions, explanation should consist of colorful images.
