I recently got a "thank-you" call from a man who read my new e-book Buying Facilitation. "Boy," he said, "this method sure helps me close more deals and make more money. Thanks!"

Never put form over function. Why? Because it's crucial that visitors actually be able to USE your site. Everything you do must be designed to be as easy for the visitor to understand as possible. Everything should be functional first. If you put form before function, you sacrifice your visitor's best interest for your own preferences. By definition, putting form over function means you sacrifice function--you make it harder to perform whatever task is supposed to be performed. You give up ease of use or simplicity in order to make it look nicer. Basically, you wind up with a lot of icing and no cake.

Easily, one of the biggest mistakes webmasters make when first starting out on the web is in the design of their site.

"Form follows function" is a term coined by the Bauhaus of the 20's and 30s to describe how a building or object's appearance (such as a chair) should be dictated by its purpose. Although the Bauhaus philosophy of design has had many successes and some dramatic failures, its application to web design has been more conceptual than applied. In other words, most web authors prefer to design with their creation's aesthetics in mind and not just it's function.
