Designing a website requires a unique combination of skills, some of them learnt and some in born. Firstly, the content should be creative, original, innovative and relevant to the industry. These are the most important factors which play a significant role in the success of a website. Firstly, the beginners should try making a ‘Glossary’ of the terms with definitions that are related to your industry. As for the written text, if you are not good at content writing then hire a content writer. With great general knowledge and possessing the power of catching factual errors, a good content writer can help improve your website’s success. Other basic rules that are immensely helpful include the following:

-Start with a simple, basic design
-Avoid blinking and flashing text as it destroys the look of a professional website
-Use titles and headers
-Do not clutter your website with background music. Many people will be looking for important information on the website and are not browsing it for listening to music.
-Your website must contain illustrations, pictures and catchy colors as these things will draw the attention of the viewer.
-You will lose viewers by using popup windows. Never use popup windows.
-Use italicized and bold text in your main content body as it grabs the attention
-Always provide a site map in your website. This will help the visitor to navigate a website easily.
-Include FAQs in your website with answers.
So for a new beginner, all the above mentioned tips will help a lot in designing a successful website that attracts many viewers. Creativity is important but observing such ground rules makes it easier with better results.

Website design is one of those things that a lot of people get wrong. This seems a little bit strange to us and most people actually surf the internet on a daily basis these days so they come into contact with hundreds of websites and obviously only use their favourite ones. However, there is a certain anatomy to effective website design for your users and from a sales point of view if this is what your website is about. Here are some of the most important things to focus on when designing:

The Layout – The layout of a website is one of the most important factors to consider. All websites should have around the same layout which is basically a menu bar and logo at the top of the page and the content below it that is organised in a nice way. The layout also needs to contain a good amount of white space as this is important for dividing up items and it is something that people often miss. Many people will try and fit too much into a website and it will start looking cluttered.

Colour Scheme – This is an area that is extremely often gotten completely wrong by website designers. The colour scheme of a website will need to be a well thought out and you will need to make sure all the colours complement each other well. Once you have decided on a colour scheme, you should go adding more colours as you start designing and you should instead stick to what you have already decided. You should also not use more than a few colours, in fact, most sites only use two colours.
Industry Standards and SEO – All website designs when coded should conform to industry standards as much as possible. This means that it should be Search Engine friendly in its structure and it should also ideally pass W3C validation. These things aren’t always a must but they are a good idea to bear in mind.

Of course, these are only guidelines and you should really think about the design you have and show others before you go ahead with it.

Provide compelling content / something of value.Though this doesn't really relate to design, it's actually more important than design, which is why it's the very first tip..
