Need more help...

Another great link to a site with information about web design. has great stuff like the following:
Basic design principles
Five basic design principles will help you create an effective design:

  • Use contrast. Make your text stand out against the background. Use graphics or colors to signal important information.

  • Use spatial relationships to present information clearly. Items next to each other appear related to each other. Items in a bulleted list are also related to each other.

  • Establish patterns. The navigation links should appear in the same place on each page, and they should have the same design. Footers should also be the same from page to page.

  • Use moderation. Using too many colors will confuse readers. Filling every inch of the screen with information will overwhelm readers. Including meaningless graphics or sounds will annoy readers.
  • Present a balanced look. Elements on a page should be placed so that the page appears visually balanced, not tilting precariously in one direction.
