Insurance Website Design Tip #1: Don't distract your visitors with blinking or scrolling text, animated GIFs, auto-loading sound or flash.
Animation and sounds are distracting. Your visitors won't be able to concentrate on reading your content if are things flying around the page. Adding these types of things can also cause your site to take longer to load on slower connections. Always keep your visitors interests in mind. Make sure you try to please them, and not yourself. Don't design the site for yourself; design it for the people who will actually use it.

Insurance Website Design Tip #2: Make you home page easy to find.
When people get lost the typically like to start over from scratch. So, make it easy for them to do so by adding a link to your home page in your site's navigation and/ or by making your company logo clickable. If you're including a clickable logo on the top of every page, make sure to also include text that says something like "Home", because some users may not realize that the logo will take them back to the homepage.

Insurance Website Design Tip #3: Make sure your navigation menus are in the right places.
Your sites navigation should always be located in the most obvious and easy to find location. The most common places to put your sites navigation menu are as follows:

  1. Near the top of the page above your content
  2. On the left side of the page
  3. At the bottom of the page

Never put your navigation menu on the right side of your page as people we read left to right. Also never but your navigation exclusively at the bottom of the page as people will not scroll to the bottom of the page to view it or will they assume that that's where it is. As a rule of thumb always use your footer navigation with some either header (top) or left navigation.

Insurance Website Design Tip #4: Don't make your page too wide.
96% of internet surfers have a screen resolution of 1024x768 or higher. The goal is to make your website visible on most screen resolutions. If your page doesn't work at 1000 pixels, it's too wide.

Insurance Website Design Tip #5: Limit page length.
If your page is too long is makes it less likely that people will actually read it. Normally you should limit a page to no more than two screen lengths of information. The only exception to this are articles because articles are longer by nature. In the case of articles you want to aim for 6-7 screen lengths or less.

Insurance Website Design Tip #6: Don't underline words if they're not links.
On the web, something that's underlined is assumed to be a link. If you underline needlessly, users will become annoyed when they try to click underlined words only to discover that they're not really links. If you need to emphasize something, use italics, bold or color.
