Let me ask you this: do you actually know what you're doing?  If you are  
new to web design, you shouldn't have a client until you've learned  
something about the craft you are trying to execute. 
 
In any event, the best website is one which most closely sticks to  
acceptable standards, -"feel" aside.  Naturally, it should be aesthetically  
pleasing, but how it works is more important than any visual rush that  
probably wouldn't occur in most visitors, anyway.  A facile, easy-to-digest  
and -navigate site is highly preferable to multitudes of bells and whistles  
which quickly become boring upon repeated encounters.  Constructing such a  
site does, of course, take some expertise.
