  • 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
  1. http://www.youtube.com/ 
  2. http://www.coolmath-games.com/
  3. http://instagram.com/
  4. 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.
