One of the toughest challenges facing any designer is the web page.

There are perhaps millions of pages in the World Wide Web all jostling for attention. The question that is foremost is how you as a designer can make a difference. Study the subject being featured. Visit as many sites as possible that cover the same as well as related topics. Make a list of what works and what doesn’t. Avoid using a design that is going to be uniform with others.

Tip 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.” Tip 2 Create a design which coveys in a stylish way what it has to. Tip 3 Avoid things like heavy files or graphics. Tip 4 Think of the target audience and subject being addressed when designing.
