How should the site look? Each site has unique requirements: an online scientific or literary journal will have rather different constraints when compared to an e-commerce site or a user community.
It's always a good idea to keep your essential content "above the fold," or viewable without any vertical scrolling. Some sites keep all the content above the fold, though this is very different than the traditional blog format that lists many posts (or excerpts) on the homepage.
Additionally, take time to address each of the following design elements:
Colors: Pick out colors and get the hexadecimal values. For a chart of colors, see: http://www.morecrayons.com/
Image sourcing: Gather and prepare your images, resizing and saving your photos in .jpg format. If you need images, see the following stock photography website: http://www.sxc.hu/
Fonts: What fonts will you use? Remember that users must have the font installed on their computer. For this reason, a best practice is...
Change the font size
Change margin width
Change background colour
