Web Designing Tips: What To Do and What Not to do

Make sure each page of the site has something valuable to offer.

This doesn't really relate to website design but it's actually more important than design, which is why it's the very first tip. Fundamentally a web page exists to provide something that's useful or interesting to visitors.

Avoid using some distracting images, sounds, etc.

Animation and sounds are very distracting. How can anyone concentrate on reading what's on your site when there are things blinking or playing around the page? Also, visitors who have slow connections may resent that you wasted their time by forcing them to load animations and sound files against their will. Don't distract your visitors with blinking or scrolling text, animated GIFs, or auto-loading sound.

Never annoy your visitors with pop-up windows.

Nobody likes pop ups. The only reason a site would have pop ups is because the site owner is thinking of his/her own interests rather than the readers. We all know that when we're browsing we hate pop ups, but suddenly when we switch hats and become the site owner, we lose our ability to see through the users' eyes.
