Designing good websites is not simply a case of throwing a load of funky graphics at the screen, there are 3 main areas to considerContent : Content is king. The whole point of the majority of websites is to provide content, be it text, pictures, mp3s or whatever to users. When you build a site the first thing you should consider is the content.Accessibility : There is no point in content if people cant access it. Furthermore you do not want to limit accessibility to those people fortunate enough to have the latest browsers & plugins, with high speed connections and with no special requirements.Presentation : Presentation has very close connections to certain areas of the accessibility issue. In particular good use of colours is important from both viewpoints.

Stick to a few basic colours for text, backgrounds, logos etc and use different shades of those colours to add depth. Make sure text colour and background colour are significantly different to make reading the text nice and easy. Similarly do not use an array of different fonts, stick to one or two throughout the site. Serif fonts such as Impact are good for, surprisingly, making an impact on a visitor whereas sans serif fonts like verdana are much easier on the eye when reading. Large blocks of text look very unwelcoming to visitors so try to avoid them particularly on the homepage, break text into paragaphs and sections with sub-headers, lists and so forth, use images where appropriate to give the user a break from reading.
