Avoid rewriting getter/setter natives
Most object languages suggest standard getters and setters that the developer does not need to write.
Overloading them can increase the run and compilation time for these methods, which are generally better optimized by the language than the developer.
Consequently, use the standard getters and setters whenever possible, and implement methods that suit the purpose. This method has the added benefit of making maintenance easier for other developers, who will be more used to the behavior of standard getters/setters than those specifically implemented for the project.
Provide a print style sheet
In addition to the benefits for the user, this style sheet reduces the number of pages printed, and therefore indirectly minimizes the website’s ecological footprint. It should be as streamlined as possible and employ an ink-light typeface e.g. Century Gothic. Also consider hiding the header, footer, menu and sidebar, as well as deleting all images except those needed for content.
