Flash animation, background sound and large graphics may not be the best choice, particularly for a professional website. Focus on what’s truly important – a website that is organised so that visitors can easily find what they are looking for so great navigation and internal linking. The images need to be clear and correctly sized and the text easy to read (typically dark text on a light background works best.
