Don't try to fit too much onto one page when you're designing a website. If your page is too busy it will take a lot longer to load and can overwhelm visitors. When you're going to be putting up a lot of content, create pages for everything you can to reduce the clutter on your page.
Use a fixed-position navigation format for easy navigation for your users. This technique involves locking a site's navigation panel in place as the visitor scrolls down the page. What makes this an effective technique is that it keeps the panel in a position where the visitor can access it easily, but it also helps entrepreneurs by keeping your desired goal right in front of them, such as purchasing or joining a mailing list.

Think like you're an artist when designing websites. Inspiration can strike at any time, so be ready for it! Take down notes on a new idea as soon as it comes to you. If you're at a restaurant, use your napkin for notepaper. If inspiration strikes at the office, VPN to your home computer and put the idea in a text file so you can use it later.
You've read the advice here and are ready to put it into action, so get ready to design your site! Start by sketching out a design and making lists of the content you'll need and you'll have your website online in no time.
