Good taste is subjective - but when it comes to Web sites, following a few golden rules will make your Web pages both practical and popular. In our step-by-step guide, we show you how to create a Web site the way the professionals do it.

Some Web sites are so bad that they should only be visited once - and sometimes even that's too often. They look awful, embracing every gaudy and flashing text effect available. Some are so over-designed you can't find what you're actually looking for. And when you do, you'll wish you hadn't. The content is diabolical and the text, scribbled in several unreadable fonts, reads like a tract that's been fed through the Enigma machine.

In this feature, we'll examine how you can improve your site by avoiding any or all of these glaring pitfalls. To start with, you'll be given an expert's guide to tidying up your site. Then we'll show you how to spice things up a bit - but usefully, this time. We'll see how to polish your site's looks, improve the way it works, and even examine ways to get more people visiting. And to test how successful you've been, we'll show you how to add a Web traffic counter to your site so you can monitor the real effects of your changes.
Think Before you Leap!
If there's one golden rule to remember in Web design, it's this: know what you're going to say before you even start building a site. And remember: no amount of flashing and spinning 3D graphics will make poor content worth reading.
