Anyone have advice on web design??

Hey everyone!! I have had a lazy weekend, the weather here was actually perfect....supposed to be in the 90's tomorrow! Just been babysitting the new puppy! hehe

Anyways...was wondering if you read this, if you have any advice, tips, etc. on web design, hosting, etc..... me and my partner are trying to get a couple of sites built and running and all though we have been studying up and reading on it, we could use some help and advice!!!

Thanks in advance!!
