Thanks a lot for these tips. Quite helpful for the daily development. Can I ask you where did you learn them? Was that your own experience? Nice tips anyway.

Thanks for this topic it's very useful.

Thanks pal, these are the most important things one must care about.

But there are also some don't in web designing that others use effectively. Great minds at times, isn't it? But these infos helped a lot.

Designing components can be broadly classified  into two categories back-end and front end. Front-end components include text, images, graphics, layout, sound and user-interface. Scripts and codes are usually referred as back end components. Irrespective of the size and nature of the site, there are some basic points that should be followed while crafting a site.

Thanks for the tips, truly appreciated. I really do hate the auto music and the pop ups. Why can't they just be done manually if you want them to be? The visitor is supposed to have control over the site when they reach it, which is probably one of the most important aspects of the site..the visitors enjoyment.
