Don't clutter up your site.
Be careful not to overwhelm your visitors on your home page.
Don't use a hodgepodge of design ideas.
Extreme symmetry is a yawner. Use the Rule of Thirds.
Don't forget about the visitor.
Don't let your site content grew stale

Colors-One of the key components to a website design that will speak to your customers is a great color palette.
Typefaces-
Fonts, or typefaces, should also be picked based on the personality of your company and the feeling you wish to convey to customers
Pictures and Graphics-
choose pictures and graphics that display your products in the best light possible
Favorite sites
http://www.youtube.com/
http://www.coolmath-games.com/
http://instagram.com/
www.google.com/
All these sites are easy to use and have a lot of graphics.
For number 2 on the list i would add a search button on top.
All the sites I love are entertaining and let me add things, play games, or give me information fast. They are all useful.
3 Good vs. 3 Bad sites
