A website should: be easy to navigate be laid out with a consistent style have everything working right work on all popular browsers look good at various resolutions have a fairly quick loading front page have a front page that will catch the viewers attention have a front page that clearly shows the purpose of the site make sure text is readable (text vs background) have an easy way to get answers to questions A website should not: appear too complicated look confusing or sloppy be hard for people to find what they are looking for concentrate on one aspect (design, content, or navigation) have background music that can't be stopped A website should be careful with: Flash front page (many browsers still don't support it - give an option) recent programming developments (not everyone buys a computer twice a year) color combinations (see if it can be viewed in 256 color and even B&W) animations (can be entertaining or irritating)   If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
