Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)

One very important thing, I find that beginners fail in. Believe it or
your website’s usablility is one of the most important factors. People
that surf the net will scan through your site and decide in 10 seconds
whether or not they will spend another 5 mins on your site or leave.

If your site seems messy or they don’t know how to navaigate to something
they are interested at, you can except them to leave.

So how do you keep it simple? Well, the best way to do so, is to keep
it a standard. People like looking at something they are used to.
So do not have some extravagate way of getting to a specific page.
If you going to do something unorthadox, then you better have a good reason
for doing so.
