Once you identified the subject, you must then choose the template of the site. The template is a predefined page that will hold the content of the site. This template page is the same for the overall pages in the site. The template can be designed by the designer of the site but it can be difficult for beginners, so choosing a predefined template will be easier. There are many sites that offer free templates and others that sell it. Website designing and planning is an ongoing activity and quite an intricate process. So, it is important to take the time and plan exactly what is required. One of the essential things to be kept in mind is identifying the target audience well. Here audiences are the group of people, i.e., the market, who are expected to visit the webpage for a specific reason.

First, a quality web design attracts more visitors. There is always a core debate around what a quality web design really is, but at its core this is a design that is pleasing to the eye, easy to navigate, and is memorable to the visitor.

An optimized or a professionally designed website will have a good look. Human beings are visual creatures and so individual or organizations looking for a web designer are likely to settle for the ones with the most attractive website.

Designing websites is a unique process because it really depends on some kind of niche market and who that particular website is targeting. A key approach to designing websites is always through a marketing perspective, and most importantly, what is the web surfer or consumer looking for when they go to or locate a website.

Website designing is also about search engine optimization, keyword stuffing and relevant content. Without these, your website remains something that is beautiful, but unknown or unappreciated. To make it to the visitors’ computer screens, back end operations are an integral part of website designs. You need to update your webpage as frequently as you can because website design trends change rapidly. You need to keep up with the times.

Make sure your site is redundant with all the links your visitor would want to have. One of the characteristics of a user-friendly site is that it is easy to navigate. Put all the links that your visitor can click on the side, on top, and at the bottom of your website.

Choosing the right web designing company is very essential. But before selecting any such company, you need to determine your objective and goals. You need to decide who your target customers are. Then, you need to determine how they will find your site. You need to apply some strategies by which you can attract the customers easily and quickly.

Web designers should have special skills to succeed in this environment. And try to gain the best possible insight into user goals. Designers always nearly get a clear on their designs purpose, and have the mental discipline to stick to it. They believe in pursuing simplicity ruthlessly and not rely on complexity to convey their messages and goals to the targeted audience.

You have mentioned and targeted the planning and Research of the website. I totally agree with you , Research and development is the most important step for having an excellent website or web application. Then second importance is of system design or requirements of the client. If you are developing any website you should be strict with the client requirements.

And obviously for beginners , you can start from a web template

* Neat and Easy Navigation: Navigation of links on your site plays a big role in determining the stickiness of your site (how long your visitor stays and explores your site). Ask yourself this, What do visitors do as soon as they open your site? They would probably read the content of the present page and then look around to find any other page that interests them. Read our article on Web site Navigation Tips.

* Clean Layout Design: A clean layout that uses a lot of white space enhances a site's looks. Try to keep the focus on your content, use dreamweaver templates for this. Use fonts that will be available on all computers to prevent your site looking messed up.

* Program using pure CSS: The world is moving away from table based websites to pure CSS websites because it offers accessibility, reusability and considerably reduces file size apart from giving greater control over the look of your website. The single most important skill you can learn today to become a quality web designer is CSS programming! Even if you are not an expert at CSS you can learn to use the following simple CSS Styles Effects to enhance your website:

1. Cool Text Effects using CSS Styles: Text Links Rollover, Text Case Setting, Text Spacing, Line-through Effect
2. Bullets in HTML or Deamweaver: Using CSS Styles with bullets (shapes, decimal, roman-numerals, images, etc.)
3. Links without Underline: Use CSS Styles to display links without the appearance of the underline.

* Optimum Load Time: Make sure your load time is low. For this you must:
Minimize Graphics, Flash and scripts: They hugely increase your file size.
Optimize your HTML & script code: Make sure that your site doesn't have any unwanted tags or unused scripts.

Use Server Side Include (SSI) files where ever possible. SSI files once called from the web server reside in its cache so on subsequent requests they load faster.

As we know CSS is the most important thing used in the web designing. There are some mistakes which usually designers made. I would like to pin point these mistakes as mentioned below:

1. Should consider for CSS and HTML validation

w3 consortium has algorithm to validate CSS, it should be considered after defining CSS into the website. Second the most important HTML should also need to be validated , you can do it by using DTD Document Type definition (strict DTD) and validate it from the w3 consortium site.

2. Encourage of defining generic CSS than make new CSS file for every new projects

Rather than making new CSS external files, You as a designer keep as a external file in your pc. For example Every website has a box model, its padding, margin, spacing etc.. you can create its generic class

.boxmodel
{
margin-left;right;

}

3. Use CSS where it is required

If you are not required to create a CSS file, then do not make it, for example if you can manage with the table to manage data, do not create div and then its CSS for its alignment.
