Website design is as complex a process as you make it; there are however certain guidelines that should be followed. To keep this guidance as simple as possible I will define a list and use an example to demonstrate:

 Always use a high colour contrast between text and background.

Keep your navigation simple; e.g. do not drop down too deep and always give the visitor an easy escape route.

Avoid pages that scroll on and on; keep you pages to a minimum scroll depth.

Try to avoid confusing your website visitors with too much animation.

Be short and precise with your text; remember reading from a screen if physically different from reading from paper.



As you can see from the above example, keeping your website simple makes the site available to all visitors; no matter their level of computer literacy.
