Webpages can be simple or complex depending on the amount of time you put into them.  

Some things to consider when designing a webpage.

Check your Spelling and Grammar it gives people the wrong impression if your site is full of errors.

Backgrounds are neat and cute but can clutter you page.  If the background is too busy people may not see your clipart or links to other pages.  It may also be hard to read your text on a busy, cluttered background. 

Give credit where it is deserved.  If you use someone else's clipart you shouldn't take credit for it.
