The list is broken up into the various categories which suggest what NOT to do. Follow this list perfectly as it will help you to make website by understanding customer point of view.
Readable content with proper backgrounds:
Always use clear, readable content using common fonts and avoid selecting background that overwhelm the visual aspect of your text, otherwise potential customers will get turned off before they've even absorbed what your website is about. Do not use tiny fonts as they are hard to read against colored background. For example, use yellow fonts against black background.

Using gray:
A cool and clear layout should show an important body area of your website, menus for easy website navigation, and well placed links to help users to reach areas of the website easily.
Use content that adheres to your subject:
Do not try to copy paste others content instead generate your own unique content to guarantee visitors can't get what you offer anywhere else!
Resourceful links:
Link your website to pages which shares interest this will help your website rise in Google rankings and show your users other relevant places they can visit.
Well-written content:
Remember that your website should be good at spelling and grammar. It is essential if you want your customers to take you seriously as a professional company.
Use proper and optimized images:
As the web is a visual medium you should try to include only relevant images on your website. Don't let images slow the experiences of viewing your website instead choose low-resolution web-optimized images whenever possible.
Smart use of technologies:
Try to avoid using technologies like Adobe Flash or other bells and whistles as part of your web design unless it adds value to your website.
Understand your audience:
Your website should target the demographics of your audience in the language they use and the level of technical expertise it assumes.
The goal of your website:
You should be very clear about what you want to achieve with your website; it will be helpful for you to focus your efforts in its design.
User friendly navigation:
Don't lose customers by making website too complex. Remember that even if your website is full of rich content and it does not provide user friendly navigation experience customers will give up and go elsewhere.
