• Reduce Color-
• Colors are important in building a memorable and
  successful brand, however, many times designers
  use too many colors in startup website color
  palettes. 
• Your goal is to use one or two colors and neutral
  hues for copy and other graphic elements like
  boxes, lines, icons etc.

• Use Only Two Fonts-
• Typography is an extremely important
  communication tool for most of the web.
• One of the most common mistakes that
  inexperienced designers tend to use is too many
  typefaces.
• Pick one typeface or a combination of two and
  stick to it. Your designs will look more clean
  and trustworthy.

• Responsive websites are the new standard.
• Think mobile first, include the most important
  information on the mobile version and make sure

  using simple form and large (easy to tap) call to
  action buttons so people cant miss it.

Actionable Design Tips For Startups

• Use Stunning Imagery-
• A picture is worth a thousand words, so save your
  words and use stunning images to capture
  attention.
• A common pitfall for designers is using stock
  photography that only kind of fits the idea and
  implement it right into the design.

• Spend some time to get to know your end user,
  define your target audience and build a typical
  user profile or user persona.
• Design for your end user and focus bringing value
  for your customer.
• Always remember that you are designing for your
  customer not yourself.
