A simple design, layout makes it easier for you to build your website. The end result will be a website which your visitors will find easy to navigate and easy get whatever information they want.

Application of graphic designs - you must be careful in choosing for the appropriate design that will best represent your projects.

Easy and quick navigation -Always see to it that you are able to include a link that will bring them back to the main page. create a navigation structure that is common for all the pages in your Web.Keep the use of hyperlinks inside your text paragraphs to a minimum. Don't use hyperlinks inside text paragraphs to send your visitors to every random page of your Web. If you must use hyperlinks, add them to the bottom of a paragraph or to the navigation menus of your site. A key aspect to making your visitors happy is insuring they go where they need to go, quickly and efficiently. Good navigation design comes from experience, and should be one of the most important aspects of your website design project.

Logo - Create a simple logo to identity your website. Have a captivating tag line somewhere with the header, and write an About Us page which describes the uniqueness of your website. These will leave an impression for your visitors to remember your website.

Choosing colour- Have a clear color scheme based on the theme of your website. Choose carefully a set of colors you use for your background, text, border, tables and cells etc.The color scheme expresses the characters of your website and makes it unique and attractive.

one of the most important aspects you need to keep in mind at all times when choosing a website design firm or designing the website yourself. It is very important to remember that most of your visitors haven't spoken to you yet and your site will be the first impression they have of your company. If your website design lacks professionalism and/or does not reflect that of a well established company, your new prospect can easily loose confidence.

1.Try and avoid run of the mill things like page counters, java text scrolling, flashing images, GIF images, signs which say "we are not ready." Or, too many illustrations or animations, black grounds or fade ins.

Create a design which coveys in a stylish way what it has to. Instead of using downloaded illustrations use original ones.
Avoid things like heavy files or graphics. These will slow down your pages. GIF is better than JPEG files.
Think of the target audience and subject being addressed when designing. The overall effect should be that of exclusivity.

By: webmanoffesto | 21-11-2007
Hello,I'm building a webpage http://preview.tinyurl.com/yvgbqgI need to list the (many) speakers at a conference and I will later add the titles of the talks as a sub level. This was frustrating to do because I need the list single spaced, without the annoying circle bulletsWith the CSS code===ul.sample { list-style-type: none;  list-style-image: inherit; list-style-position: outside;  circle: outside; text-indent: 0em; white-space: normal; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 1;}ul.listlist { list-style-type: none;  list-style-image: inherit; list-style-position: outside;  circle: outside; text-indent: 0em; white-space: normal; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;}===it looks great in IE but terrible in Firefox. How can I fix this problem? Is there an alternative within CSS? I prefer not to switch to nested tables, those are messy. But I am open to suggestions.
