Nice piece from Seth Godin.Thought it would be nice to share with others here.
—————————————————————————————————————————- How to create a great website
Here are principles I think you can’t avoid:
1. Fire the committee. No great website in history has been conceived of by more than three people. Not one. This is a dealbreaker.
2. Change the interaction. What makes great websites great is that they are simultaneously effortless and new at the same time. That means that the site teaches you a new thing or new interaction or new connection, but you know how to use it right away. (Hey, if doing this were easy, everyone would do it.)
3. Less. Fewer words, fewer pages, less fine print.
4. What works, works. Theory is irrelevant.
5. Patience. Some sites test great and work great from the start. (Great if you can find one). Others need people to use them and adjust to them. At some point, your gut tells you to launch. Then stick with it, despite the critics, as you gain traction.
6. Measure. If you’re not improving, if the yield is negative… kill it.
7. Insight is good, clever is bad. Many websites say, “look at me.” Your goal ought to be to say, “here’s what you were looking for.”
8. If you hire a professional: hire a great one. The best one. Let her do her job. 10 mediocre website consultants working in perfect harmony can’t do the work of one rock star.
9. One voice, one vision.
10. Don’t settle.

There does not seem to be a link to your site attached at the end of your tips to show us an example what you mean 😉

Hi Phil
I am just a novice Joomla guy who is still a localhost tester !No live sites yet !
I felt Seth Godin’s advice made a lot of sense.
Something like your pub site should be a good example of doing a good job right !

well i will point some extra things that always try to consider in making a site:
1.-The site looks great well designed, but it fast loading, it was made for me or for customers
2.-I can found what i look for on 3 clicks or less
3.-The topic is interneteable
4.-My site looks atractive, modern, and easy to navigate

7.-The content is the king so i must refresh it at soon at we stablish
