The Code Style Web site is more than 100% better than it was in 2005. Every substantial improvement has been recorded, each one percent better than before, to make a big difference over the years.
This is how the One Percent Better approach can help you to make leaps and bounds in your development work and bring your site to the next level.

Regular production and maintenance work should make a difference, but routine tasks are often event driven and need frequent attention. Like a plate-spinning act at the circus, the more you take-on the more time and energy you spend to stop plates crashing to the ground. A little extra spin can improve the process but will not produce remarkable results by itself.
The One Percent Better approach is about making significant improvements that build towards something special. Code Style helps thousands of readers take leaps forward in web development, learning and career progression.
When we identify and deliver substantial improvements it motivates and reminds us that today was better than the day before. It breaks down big goals into manageable chunks.
The compound effect means that each percentage improvement should be greater than those before. Its a subtle way to set ambitious targets, markers for substantial improvement.
One Percent Better is like the Japanese principle of Kaizen, continuous improvement, but with a spring in its step. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps; aim to make daring leaps forward.
When you're working towards big changes, keep note of each one percent improvement you make. Review each development to check they achieve the progress you expected and celebrate when you hit the 100% better mark.
The One Percent Better principle is about making positive planned improvements. Fixes to Web site errors and business blunders are critical, but the net effect is neutral, it just restores the status quo. Corrections don't count towards your One Percent Better score sheet.
Big improvements to the Code Style site are often prompted by readers. That's why the site is littered with feedback and help request forms. One constructive criticism, one good question or helpful suggestion stands for 100 readers who didn't take the trouble to spell it out.
That's how One Percent Better can make a big difference to all.
Help make Code Style one percent better and we'll return the favour. Suggest a single substantial improvement that would help developers like you take their next big leap forward.
