Of course content is always king, but other than that, what do you think is most important for a successful web site? e.g. The list goes on...

| Its great for a technician to have a great backend, but the punter on the street doesnt give a damn. For your audience, next to content design is the most important thing. (IMO) |

I find site most attractice when the information I want is easy to find. Design is 2nd but I hate sites where my search returns the most stupid results. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

| It's kind of hard to say because in a good site design, all aspects are tied in together... so i would say that you either do it right...or you do it wrong. |

navigation but a good navigation includes a nice (or at least clean) design. ------------- http://www.conhecerparaconservar.org - I don't know how to make you click here |

I think navigation is important as some sites don’t seam to get to the point. If you are looking for drivers sometimes you have to be like inspector clueso to find them. Controls, Links and the constant location of them is important if you move them around on each page you will upset the visitor. I also feal the more you have to click away from the main page (4xpages or more) this can add to the frustration as well. One more thing I am finding hard to keep up with is checking all links work. Move only one page and that can mean a long time changing all links and you will miss one. Dreamwever helps but don’t work to well when you have to input your link as a URL.

Are we complaining about microsoft.com or msdn.microsoft.com? And the complete inability of anyone to every find anything there? I always have to go to google or msn.com to search for something on the microsoft site. ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

For me, I always think about Web Design & Development as akin to what is involved in opening a store (ie, Borders, Target, Best Buy, etc). Here's a simple breakdown of what I consider important...
Web Site --- vs --- Store/Business 1. Content -------- 1. Products (what is being sold?) 2. Navigation ------ 2. Store Arrangement (what goes where?) 3. Coding --------- 3. Architecture/Building Structure 4. Design --------- 4. Interior/Exterior Design 5. Search --------- 5. Marketing/Promotion |
