consider a search facility
use a chart to plan structure and navigation

provide identification on each page: author, title, update, status (under development), mail address, URL?
Manage external links
Usability
Visual appeal
use graphic design: pay for it or re-use it
HTML features
use transparent inline images to integrate them seamlessly with the background
provide alternatives to online forms for those without a forms-capable browser. e.g. a mailto: link.
Browsers without graphics
for simple icons, use simple ALT descriptions to keep the screen clear
