In today’s market place a visually appealing website is not enough.  A web developer must not only create a website that is inviting, compatible with all major browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome and more.  Moreover, new versions of browsers come out everyday.  You have to keep testing your website to make sure there are not compatibility issues.

When you create your website, follow W3 standards.  Keep your website simple.  Don’t be tempted to add too many graphics.  Make sure your website loads fast.  Do not use too much animation, this just annoys the visitors.  Make sure your navigation system is well laid.  Use CSS so that you have the same look and feel for the entire website.  This will help search engines crawl and index your site.
