be consistent with the writing style
!
many studies confirm that the writing portion of a blog
or website is one of the main parameters that readers
use to determine the overall quality of that site.

invest money in a good logo (and style guide)
!
just like medieval castles used to be identified by their
flags, websites are identified by their logos.
!
if you have limited money to spend on design, make
sure that the logo is your top priority.
