Good website fundamentals

I came across this website when I was thinking about the fundamentals of a website, and what a good website should have. These were some of the pointers that were suggested:

• Meets the needs of the target visitor

This means that the website should load quickly, work well, and be easy to navigate.

• Is credible

 Meaning that it should be profressional in appearance, have quality graphics, a balanced colour pallet, and have a good layout. It also means that it should function properly, free of errors, and provide relevant information.

• Meets your objectives

What you set out to achieve. The basic concept of your website should be obvious and interesting.

This is the website where I found information about what makes a good website:
