When selecting a background for your website, make sure you
select a background that will compliment your text and
design.

Tips for design:

- Busy backgrounds make text difficult to read and draw the
attention away from the text.

- Always be consistent with your background theme on each
page of your site.

- Colors affect your mood and will have an affect on your
visitors as well. Bright colors such as yellow and orange,
cause you to become more cheerful or happy, while colors
such as blue and purple have a calming effect. Dark colors
such as brown and black have a depressing effect. A good
rule of thumb would be to select colors based upon the
type of effect you're trying to achieve.

The appearance of your website can mean the difference
between your success and failure.
