1) Keep it simple.
Movies, audio and
animation
may be cool but if it takes your user more than 10 seconds to
download
they are gone.
2) Make it easy to navigate.
If they
can't
find their way around your website they will leave. Keep the
links
visible and each page compact. They do not want to have to look
for
your links.
3) Keep banners to a minimum.
Don't bog
your
site down with banner ads. One or two are fine but that is
it.
4) Pop Ups - DON"T DO IT!
Most web surfers and
potential
clients will avoid sites with pop ups like the plague. There is
software out there now called Pop Up Killer specifically to
knock these
out.
5)Put contact information on each page.
People
want to
know there is a real person running your site if they have a
problem.
It inspires trust that you will not take their money and
run.
6)
If you are running a business through your web site, you
must accept
credit cards.
7) Metatags and Keywords: Make sure your site has
them
built it. If you haven't programmed them in, the search engines
will
not be able to find you.
There are plenty of programs
that will
rank your keywords and see how popular they are in the search
engines,
as well as market your site for you. Click here to automate

8)
Find a
niche market. Specialize in other words. Make people have to go
to your
site for the specific information or service that you
provide.
9) Research your chosen field and find out what
product
or service would be in demand but that isn't heavily
marketed online. For an example of this go to internet guru,
Corey
Rudl's Site. He turned his ebook Car Secrets into a million
dollar
money maker by focusing on a niche
market.

Follow
these
rules and you should have no problem designing a site that is
both eye
catching, informative and addictive.
