Web site design pitfalls and ideas:

• Design = important
• Do not underestimate the power of images
  • Strive to show inclusiveness in your images
• Tell stories within the site to draw people's interest
• Most used items should be the most visible
• Useability! Consider your current and potential audience when designing the site. Be sure to get outside opinions, too.
• Integrate features from sites you like
• Clear navigation and search buttons
• contact information on each page
