- Anticipate the needs of your user. Know your
audience.
- find out what appeals to them and what they want
- Exactly identify the name of the sponsoring
company.

- Try to avoid scrolling on this page. Keep page
size to 560 x 420 pixels to fit in one screen.

- avoid including too much detailed information at this level
- clearly display the content of the site
- Avoid using one large graphic only.
