Some of the websites use fancy design and complicated backgrounds that makes the text on the website to become unreadable. While deciding the background color of the site, one should always keep it in mind that the background should highlight the color of the text.

When fancy background is used then the text blocks should be offset and a single color should be used in the background as well as in the foreground. As an example, black background might have white lettering for text.

Text size should be neither too small nor too large to read. It should not be too large so that a small block dominates the whole page. Likewise, link colors should be easily distinguishable from regular text. Text should be properly centered when used as a headline and justified on both sides when used in a paragraph.

Any user should be able access any page of the website by making not more than three clicks of the mouse. Providing a table of contents on the site makes it more organized and easier to navigate also.

The design could provide a frame on the left side of the page providing the table of contents. On clicking on any of the items should enable the corresponding content to be displayed in a frame to the right side of the page. Such a design would keep the visitor anchored to the main page.
