- Motivate: Design your site to meet specific user needs and goals. Use motivators to draw different user "personae" into specific parts of your site.
- User task flow: Who are your users? What are their tasks and online environment? For a site to be usable, page flow must match workflow.
- Architecture – it's 80% of usability, Build an efficient navigational structure. Remember – if they can't find it in 3 clicks, they're gone.
- Affordance means obvious: Make controls understandable. Avoid confusion between emblems, banners, and buttons.
- Replicate: Why reinvent the wheel? Use ergonomically designed templates for the most common 8-12 pages.
- Use a reference (but don't copy it!)
- If you see an interesting web design, color scheme or layout, try to use it as a starting point for your own web design.
- Use a stats package: Monitor traffic through your site. Which pages pique user interest? Which pages make users leave? Adjust your site accordingly.

Web designers need to be proficient with graphic design tools like Photoshop. Most also know HTML so they can implement their designs. However, using animation on the site and layout for the site’s content are also part of the web designer’s responsibility.
