9 Essential Principles for Good Web Design

PSDTuts has a very good article on 9 Essential Principles for Good Web Design. It’s a good read for all designers, and all people interested in design. I especially liked the example sites in the article!

I strongly recommend reading the article but in summary, the principles are:

1. Precedence (Guiding the Eye)
2. Spacing
3. Navigation
4. Design to Build
5. Typography
6. Usability
7. Alignment
8. Clarity (Sharpness)
9. Consistency
