Balance

• Balance is an important aspect of a web page. If
  the site isnt balanced then the site will be
  hard to understand and follow. The web site Brain
  Teasers, is a great example of balance. It is
  very easy to follow and understand. They have
  used a variety of colors and tables to separate
  the page.

Reliable source

• It is important that the information on a web
  site is up to date and reliable. A site from the
  government would be up to date and accurate. The
  site shows the government symbol, giving users a
  visual reinforcement.
