Ajax Won't Cure a Bad Design
All the dynamic interactivity in the world won't correct a web application with a design that is fundamentally flawed.
All the tenets of good web design still apply to Ajax applications:
Write for multiple browsers and validate your code.
Comment and document your code well so that you can debug it later.
Use small graphics wherever possible so that they load quickly.
Make sure that your choices of colors, backgrounds, font sizes, and styles don't make pages difficult to read.
