Web Design Do's and Don'ts:

Whitespace Rule: The eye needs a break from content like @ Napster vs. ICQ

Graphics/Animation: Pour quality like @ Dietez vs. Gator

Navigation: There should not be so much material you cannot find what you are looking for like at Siemens vs. Futureshop (find a phone)

Mystery Meat Navigation: Even with Flash files, navigation should not be a mystery when it comes to navigation like @ Metropolis Post or Arnold Worldwide

Other Navigation: Parfum Lolita Lempicka

Cool Designer Syndrome: Coca Cola

Break the Box:
Try to break away from the boxie feel at CustomGuide.com vs. Olympic.org

Other Annoyances: justified left like Amway Canada; large popup windows likeMass Quantities; too much content like BSuccessful.com
