Check browser compatibility. The most popular browsers are Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, FireFox and Opera. Be sure that the page loads correctly on all these different browsers, not just on the one that you personally use. It is always a good idea to have each one of the browsers available to check all aspects of web design.

Consider using a template for web design rather than doing everything from scratch. The templates on most web design programs are ideal for maximizing the use of white space and increasing the emphasis on key areas of the web page. Unless you are an advanced web designer templates are an ideal options.

Designing web pages from scratch is both challenging as well as rewarding. It is important in designing web pages to keep information simple, highly visible and the key points you wish to get across should be displayed when the screen loads. Keep fonts maximized and graphics to the outside edges of the webpage unless they are clearly enhancing the product or service being offered or sold.
