Use a proper doctype (Usually HTML (and ideally, strict, not transitional)g, and NOT XHTML), write clean, symantic code, use an external stylesheet, make sure your code validates, check different browsers, don't use deprecated tags, consider accessibility, and never ever use <blink> or <marque>, never force the user to open a new window, and forget about playing music.

Check out http://www.w3schools.com for help with coding and other tips too. It's been a big help to me through the years. Like everyone else has asked... Do you have any specific questions or topics related to web design that you are looking into?
