Search engines work as per your keywords hence be careful while selecting right keywords. Your target audience will get your website only through keywords which they type in search engines.
Cross-browser compatible
Many websites have a disclaimer statement at the bottom of the page regarding the web browser on which the site has been designed. This message also shows that the page will be best viewed on that specific browser. This statement might annoy the visitor. Make sure that your site looks same in Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Netscape, Safari and all the other browsers, so you will not miss any of your audience.
