When selecting a background for your website, make sure you select a background that will compliment your text and design.
Tips for design:

- Busy backgrounds make text difficult to read and draw the attention away from the text.

- Always be consistent with your background theme on each page of your site.

- Colors affect your mood and will have an affect on your visitors as well. Bright colors such as yellow and orange, cause you to become more cheerful or happy, while colors such as blue and purple have a calming effect. Dark colors such as brown and black have a depressing effect. A good rule of thumb would be to select colors based upon the type of effect you're trying to achieve.

The appearance of your website can mean the difference between your success and failure.
