9.Best practices for Creating Sites :-

1.Site name should be UNIQUE and meaningful.

2.Configure proper security for sites. Users must have at least viewer configured for the site.

3.Web address identifier must be unique across sites in your system.

4.Select the appropriate page width for the content.

5.Site logo must be less than 100 KB.

6.Site logo should be a JPG, PNG, BMP, JPEG or GIF file with a transparent background.

7.Use favicon and branding to have Intuitive, and Beautiful Site pages.

8.Site Favicon should be an ICO file with sizes 16x16 and 32x32 that is less than 100KB.

9.Every site should contain relevant tabs/menu defined for specific user group.

10.Pages/Interfaces to be configured with right security and visibility

11.Configuring a site page for web users, consider updating the page width to match the content. For example, actions may have only a few fields and benefit from a narrow page width to avoid having the form look stretched. Another example is a dense report that can benefit from a wide page width or, if users have extra wide monitors, a full-page width.

12.Use a site logo with a transparent background and sufficient contrast against the navigation bar color.

13.Avoid the use of news entry links in sites.

14.Show only the required information in the Site Forms.
