Five things to remember during the web design process are: Usability testing should never ever EVER be an afterthought. If your site isn’t very usable, nobody is going to use it. Never sacrifice user-friendly designs for those less inclined to easy-to-understand interfaces and structures. Do not clutter a website with an overload of information. In general, most items can be categorized; with categories comes the specialization of customers, which in turn makes it easier for people to find things quickly and efficiently. Be aware of the client’s character – never design with yourself in mind. Do not overuse medias that may increase loading time, and make it more difficult for people to peruse the site.
