    If for info, then Keep It Simple Stupid. Don't use javascript. Keep graphics to a minimum. Make sure it works with image loading turned off. Make sure it works with text browsers. Don't use image maps. Keep pages short with clear links up and down.
    Those points were the key things that I kept in mind when designing my personal site closedsrc.org. The only graphics that I use on the site are: the logo (but it has an ALT tag for text-browsers), the W3C valid logos, the FreeBSD button, a little s/deformed toon character, and the Google logo (for the Google search).

    Everything else uses CSS (1 and 2), tables (I try to not nest tables if at all possible), and adhere to HTML 4.01 Strict (or Transitional if I can't adhere to Strict for some reason). The site is browseable with most browsers and the server will include a little warning at the top of the page if it detects a browser that won't show the page correctly (and uses a different CSS file that provides just the bare necessities).

    I personally hate sites that try to be fashionable, flashy, uses too much animations (either via Flash, JavaScript or Java), and ones that squeeze content into a width of only 400-500 pixels.
