What Makes a Better Builder?
 
Wondering how we chose the Founding 100 Better Builders? Here are ten defining characteristics of Better Builders. Think you have what it takes? We've also included links to Tripod services and articles that will help you join the ranks of the Better Builders.

You know you're a Better Builder when ...
  1. You update your site frequently (We can help — try our Cool Links.)

  2. You're excited about page building (So excited, in fact, that you've signed up to become a Better Builder!)

  3. You want to learn more about how to improve your Web site (Learn from Tripod's own Gif Girl and our friends at Webmonkey.)

  4. You care about design — your site is easy to navigate and read, nice to look at, and fast to download (Get nifty FREE fonts from Chank and design help at Webmonkey.)

  5. Your page is packed with unique, fun, interesting, or useful content (Make your page better with Cool Links and get ideas from our Build By Topic templates.)

  6. You promote your homepage with banner exchanges, search engine submissions, and the like (Check out Tripod's Banner Builder and Banner Exchange Program for a step-by-step guide.)

  7. Visitors to your page can interact with you or each other (You might want to open a Guestworld Guestbook, an Online Answering Machine, or a Personal Chat Room.)

  8. There are no broken links, broken images, or spelling and grammatical errors on your site (Give your homepage a tuneup at Web Site Garage.)

  9. The content is all yours (Read our Terms of Service for more details. If you're looking for free, non-copyrighted images and animations, check out our Media Library and Parable's Things.)

  10. You stretch yourself with new technologies, such as sound files, animations, movies, etc. (Webmonkey's multimedia section is a great place to start.)
