Good Web design means your site achieves its goals and objectives with minimal obstacles to the user. Good design is CRAP: Humorous acronyms aside, you’ll find this is the key to the four essential elements of good graphic design. 

• Contrast—Add variety by making dissimilar elements look different
• Repetition—Add unity by repeating elements
• Alignment—Create visual connections between elements
• Proximity—Group related items together

A few basic tips:

Uphold user-friendliness (the most important design principle). Keep the user in mind. Even if your fabulous design makes perfect sense to you, if others are bogged down it is not effective interface design. Only design that is understood is truly effective. The designer’s opinion is secondary. Web sites should be accessible. For public institutions in the United States Web sites must be accessible to people with disabilities such as low vision, blindness and color blindness, hearing impairments, and people who cannot use a mouse. The World Wide Web Consortium (WC3) has developed a list of "Checkpoints for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines" for Web designers to follow. The Guidelines are quite extensive and complex.
