Although often overlooked, the domain name is very important. It can actually make or break your entire project depending on how to choose one. It has to be short and catchy enough. In other words it must have high recall value, and easy to remember.

For some of us that may want to make use of our websites for purposes of furthering our affiliate profits, this next piece of advice might not be so palatable. You must limit your advertisements. Try to use at the most two to three outside links or advertisements if you have to. Keep the focus of the reader on your site and not on the banners and side panels.

Designing it for your target audience is a key to a successful design. For instance, if your target audiences are children, you will not want to put drab and dead colors. Just like you wouldn’t use very loud colors for a more conservative target market. Do your market research on what kind of page elements to use for certain audiences. Also remember to update or revise the theme once in a while to keep the audience interests up.

Minimal graphics is also suggested in coming up with a design as this will help less eye strain on the part of the reader. You want the message sent out to be short and sweet and not too reliant on pictures. Also lesser graphics will enhance another needed component which is faster load times.

Fast load times are needed in the internet today due to one common attribute of many internet surfers. This common attribute is called attention span. Many if not all people have very short attention spans and if your site is designed that it will not load fast enough, then you can lose a potential visitor and client. They will just simply click onto another address if yours even takes more than ten seconds to load.

A standard for any great site is having a site map and even internal search engine capabilities. However, the site map is probably the most important. Search engines that need to rank and quantify their results use the site map. So having a good site map will be to your advantage in getting higher ranked hits.

Although it is not limited alone to these concepts discussed in this article, they can be considered as critical and should not be left out. Always include the items just discussed above in your next design endeavor.
