What is good web design?

Web design is graphic design for computer monitors.

Good web design has the basic purpose of transmitting information to an interested user in a clear and compelling manner.

Good web designing attempts to transmit information in a user friendly way.
There are a few good rules here that my business always trys to follow

• Simple layouts that don't confuse are better
  
• There should be a hierarchy of information that leads the user to where you want them to go
• They should be able to easily understand what information the different categories on you website are likely to contain
• The website should be easy to navigate and not be confusing or frustrating
• There should be valuable information on the website

Web design is about designing the layout of the page and the information contained in it so that it is CLEAR what the webpage's purpose is, therefore it is not an exercise in figuring out what is going on. There is not enough time for confusion.

Probably my biggest influence is Jakob Nielsen - sometimes called the "Usability Guru" of the web.
His website www.useit.com is very ugly but very useable and that is what he is all about.
