Website Design Helpful hints

I recently came across an article in my website design class that discusses some basic hints for website design. The title First Impressions Count in Website Design is very true. Your homepage especially can drive viewers away or bring them in for a closer look. Please let me know what you think of this article. I want to in the future help small businesses that are not online or have poor websites such as the examples in the article and I find this very useful in sharing why have good sound web design is so important. The rest of the website this article came from is pretty useful as well so I suggest taking a look! Enjoy!
