 Or, if you're a professional web design company (at least in my
experience):
 1) Look good
 2) Have lots of things to show off how good the web design company is
 3) Convey all necessary information
 4) Work on P3-600s running IE5
 5) Load in a few minutes when using a cable modem

love to discuss this, at least some of them.
