Building custom-tailored websites is what my company, www.Bonasource.com, has done for more than six years. As experts in our field, we know that there’s a lot more to a Web project than sexy technology and online gimmicks. And yet, nowadays, people tend to ignore the fundamentals of solid Web design.

When it comes time to tackling your next Web project, here are some tips to help you along the way:

1. Start with a clear, measurable goal in mind.
Before you do anything, sit down and think about what it is you truly want to accomplish with this Web project. Why do you want to build or redesign this site? How will you measure your success? The more you prepare for this project, the more results you will see in the long run.
