Images and Graphics
Bring into line all your images. One of the most general newbie layout errors is to slap images into a page willy-nilly without thought to layout. If you just use an image tag and then write text to follow it, you will have the picture and then one line of text to the right of it. Using the align attribute will help make your images part of the layout.
Maintain the graphics and text on a page. It's easy to get carried away with lots of images and animations, but they can make a page very hard to read. When you are allowing for your layout, keep in mind that images are a main part of the design, not just afterthoughts.
Text Width
Consider about text width. This is generally called the "scan length", and refers to how many words are exhibited on one line. Most people can at ease read about 7 to 11 words on a line. Longer than that, and the text is tough to read, shorter than that and it's disjointed and distracting. When designing your outlines make clear in your mind that the most important text area displays the text in a legible width.
Centering text is not recommended. One of the first layout methods that a new designer working on web design learns is the center tag, and they center everything on their pages. However, centering is very difficult to do well and it's often hard to read.
