Hello,
Here are some web site layout design Tips:
1. Always use graphics that fit the content.
2. Do not use images that blink or move or change or rotate or flash or do anything on your page.
3. Stick with standard layouts.
4. Whitespace is more than the CSS property, it is a function of your layout. You should be aware of the whitespace on your pages and how it affects how the content is viewed.
