You twice in your text reference items “below” e.g. “the about page below” etc – but there appears to be no referenced page. Would this be one of this irritating design flaws that your articles treats of?

You make some valid points which I will take into consideration when briefing our web designers. I find it difficult to find designers that are simple, that use white space more efficiently. I feel that designers want to add too many design elements. Will pass this post on to them, thanks.

I often think internet users get a feeling of trust if they enter your website and there is a very recent news story on the website home page. There is nothing worse than going onto a website and thinking this has not been updated for months

I am in the process of developing my website and do find your suggestions very helpful and sensible. I wish to add that I believe that ‘variety is the spice of life’ and would sometimes vary from the basics in order to stand out and be noticed.

I have to agree a logo is so important for the visitor. Something to remember is always a good thing for returning visitors who happen to stumble on your site in the future.

Great tips on web design. I had never noticed these things before, especially how apple do use white spaces more than others. I might try this route myself :P

This is such a great article. As a young designer, it is always at the top of my mind to keep my audience in mind when creating a site. Making the design look good and knowing what the audience is expecting is such a key element to building trust with them.

All of the tips are awesome. Definitely gives us all something to think of when building a site.

Sometimes the simplest sites are the best. Look at what google has done, they are not flashy or traditionally designed well. But they get it done and it looks clean.

Good point about using a white layout, it’s a symbol of cleanliness take objects for example, you would more likely use something that is white where you can see how clean it is as opposed to a darker object where you can’t see how clean it is – perhaps this thought of white>clean>trust is a general human embedded thought

If you’ve been online for longer than say three years, I’ve found adding a timeline to show your visitors what you’ve been up to the last few years is a good way to establish credibility. The timeline demonstrates that you’ve been hard at work and highlights your recent accomplishments.
