The key, probably the most important thing in web page design, is to
*NOT* override the user's font defaults.  Web pages with font sizes, colors, &
styles are simply evil.  There are pages I can no longer read with Netscape,
because the @#$%^ web designer went out of their way to choose a small
font...and that's *real* small on a 1600x1200 display!  MSIE let's me 
go to Tools/Internet Options/Accessibility and say:

   ignore font colors on page
   ignore font size on page

...which is simply wonderful.

www.hp.com is an excellent example of how *NOT* to design a web page, sadly.

Remember, the three most important things to consider when
designing a web page are: content, content, and content.
Look / feel / wow isn't in the top three!
