Your mood subsequently changed the colour scheme and the background music!!! Worst of all it was meticulously coded and probably cost a fortune.

However if we focus on smaller SME sites, I think an important quality is visual. You see to many sites where the visual presentation of the premises and facilities are extremely small. Big quality pictures offer a key point of differentiation, something many SME sites fail to maximise. I agree that some of my suggestions are for more larger sites.

People need to get directly to the most important pieces of information and these should be the main elements on the homepage. Sites like this over look the importance of good content in favour of graphics and looks. The importance of content can never be over stated and as said above generic content will actually hinder rather than help!

Mick, you're right that the list could go on and on. I know that you where talking about websites in general, however when it comes to health clinics in general most of them are 6 pages or so and rarely do they require anything other than top level navigations (we recommend tabs). Breadcrumbs are redundant on site this small. I welcome more suggestions - let's build the list out. Thanks for the comment Joe and Mick.

Another I would say is navigation and the importance of having a consistent primary navigation on every page. You see many sites, where there is different primary nav's on different pages. Awful Another good feature is breadcrumbs and makes navigation so much easier. I think you could make a list of 20 but this is definitely a good start All very important points.

I nearly exploded when I recently saw a brand new music website (won't shame here) using splash, background music and horrendously huge images that took ages to load.
