Keep the users in mind as you design your site.
Ensure that the users are never confused about where they are in your site structure.
Ensure that your design speaks for you.

Remembering what we talked about earlier ...

Plan your website

Take a few minutes and decide on a "theme" for the page(s) you are creating. Decide the structure of the site and what images you will need.

You want to consider that the development cycle for web sites has four stages

  1. The first stage is to develop content and format in tandem
  2. The second stage is to view the results
  3. Third, to make repairs as necessary. At this time you will either return to the first step to add content, or go to the fourth step
  4. Fourth, publish the page

Key things to remember

know your audience,
keep it simple,
be fast,
know the rules before you knowingly break them

Don't forget that these are your pages,
so they should represent you in a manner you wish to be represented
