Good Design vs. Bad Design

I am really glad that we got this reading. I am still an extreme novice at Dreamweaver and know that I have a lot of work to do in order to grow and develop in my design skills. The tips offered were very helpful in a fun way, without being preachy (like "this is what you HAVE to do in order to create a good website"). There are a lot of ways you can make a webpage look great and inviting and it seems the most important part is that you have a good eye for design. I realize that I don't have it yet for the web (and my previous Dreamweaver work has been nowhere up to these standards) so this project will definitely be a learning experience in terms of making a page that is both informative and visually-appealing.
