Gimme some cool web programming tricks.
Warriornation is a good example, actually. The graphics used on it are ok (they''re not necessary for you to use the web site : no flashy 100ko gif buttons to click ...), and the color theme is consistent (grey/blue with hues of green).

Avoid anything overly complex, especially in navigation.
Make use of external context - ie, things that people will also understand how to use from other websites.
Learn CSS, and use it.
Try to keep filesizes down for the benefit of dialup users.
Flash is often great, if used correctly.
It is preferable to avoid the use of frames.

The number one trick
Do no make your pages look cool. They won''t be.
The above can easily be seen into action on any young teen girl''s pop idol-worshipping website. Flashy colors everywhere, animated gifs staining the page, three midis playing at once (THE HORROR!! ;., marquees all over the place...
If you want a really neat webpage, think of what you need. Consider what could be added. Ask yourself if you really need all that extra junk after all. Realize you don''t.
Look at the forums. How many images can you see, excluding the mini icons used for emotes and the likes? The Gamedev.net logo and a banner ad. The rest? Just cleverly-placed DIVs with various shades of blue->black along with matching, well-contrasting text. Does it look cool? Yeah, you could say that. Is it major eye-candy. No. But then you realize, you''re not here to see spiffy pictures. You''re here to read posts (on the message board, for instance). Most of the time, that''s what people do. I think very few people have actually stopped to look at the layout, and wondered, why aren,t there more spiffy pictures all over the place? This is because spiffy pictures are not the focus here.
