Business look just not there - 1/15/2006 6:23:52   
Any help would be appreciated...

I have just started creating websites and I find my creative ability very lacking. I have just signed up for a business selling website commercials and the company gives one website. But I want a landing page that I can bring customers to before sending them to my replicated web commercial websites. However I just can't get that business website look and feel.. Any simple hints and tips - critism is very welcome.

Are there any guidlines to text, fint and colors for business related website ? I have lots of images and I did the banner myself.
thanks

General tips:

This is your single solitary page and therefore you need to make it count - make it very easy to understand what you're selling and where you want them to go from there.

Don't try to be too clever or inovative - stick to tried and trusted methods (you don't want to make people have to think too hard!). I'd lay the page out like a newspaper - your most important section at the top and less important stuff lower down.

Dump the yellow backgrounds.

Dump the underlined text except for links.

Keep to a couple of colours for text - maybe black/dark grey for text and blue for links for example.

Don't use "pt" for font sizing - use % instead so the text can be resized in IE (good browsers will resize it anyway).

Try to keep things in a neat grid (yeah I know it's boring but it's reliable) layout - at the moment you've got different sized images and areas of text starting all over the place.
