Ok... I'm working on a couple new designs for my future "dot-com-probably-gonna-fail-and-I'll-be-in-the-hole-by-millions" company, and my personal site along with that, but I'm stuck. I want to break off from my old "tables for menus/low graphics" design, but I can't really get any ideas. So, what is it that really draws you guys/girls to a site, and what is it that makes you say "fuck this bull" and leave?

I personally hate frames, I don't like many graphics (I like bandwidth friendly!), blinking text is and always will be a nono... and I can go on for a bit...

so yeah. Any example sites of stuff you like? (note - I don't steal designs, I just wanna see what people like in a site ). I remember reading about this old place that did "open source web design" or something... I can't remember, maybe someone knows what I'm talking about.

content. content. content.

javascript, java applets, midi and/or wav files, flash, blinking text, shitloads of animated gifs, images sized so large they don't fit on the screen at 1024 x 768 will all cause me to immediately click that 'back' button and get the hell outa dodge.

not enough so to be annoying.
i'm talkin about pages that even over a t1 would take half an hour to load.

oh, and people, please do not set static font sizes, especially if you are running 800x600. they become /impossible/ to read on big, high res monitors.

a good webpage looks nice at any resolution.

Static font sizes?

When I make I site I usually use a style sheet and set my fonts to 10 or 12pt. Is this what you mean by a static font size? or do you mean setting the size in pixels (i.e. 10px)?

Just wondering. Wouldn't want my web sites to need a magnifying glass, and I don't have a 21" monitor handy

who's your dot-com's target audience? Because it makes all the difference in the world for your site design..., ex. if you're doing b2b you probably want a conservative corporate look (a la www.autodesk.com) with dark on light, small fonts, designed for limited resolution with slight (if any) literal scaling. On the other hand, if your target audience is sci-fi people with limited internet connections, try an optimized yet spacey look (a la www.pseudolife.com).). And frames are great...when used right. . Another corporate site you might want to check out is www.bricsnet.com (less conservative, but still highly corporate).
