Valid points… Also, if you use images for in-post headings, give them good alt tags ;-)

Simple is definitely better. The less cluttered the better and nice semantic XHTML is also a must. Standards compliant XHTML & CSS is what the web should be, but it's a shame it's not. - Dwayne Charrington. Dwayne Charrington's last blog post..Rare Popular available SEO domain names

Hi Steven,

I do a little web design, but not much. I prefer to create brand identities / logos etc.

Send me an email with what you had in mind and I can let you know, or refer you to a pro.

Cheers.

Do you actually do HTML/webdesign? I'm looking to get a business website re-done and am looking for good designers for quotes. Steven's last blog post..Official - Dundee is pure dead clever

Thanks Jermayn, Pinyo, Graham,

I fully agree about the importance of white space. It’s under-estimated by clients far too often, and should be a compulsory tutorial.

Great tips again David,
to add my two penneth ( 2 cents)::

WHITE SPACE IS VERY IMPORTANT

I know clients hate it but you can use space to isolate, highlight and balance the look and feel of a design,

but here I am preaching to the converted again!

I would say that there are 10,000 important tips, but these 5 sum them up nicely!

I myself am responsible for web sites that have small text and am rethinking now.

Excellent tips. Thank you. I am guilty of not having enough attractive photos on my blog…among other things.
