Generally, websites you look at and think are really well designed actually have very little going on. They tend to speak for themselves and are not overcomplicated. Overcomplicating a website makes it difficult for the user to understand what they are doing on the website. You don't want them to get lost on your website so stick to simplicity. In an art gallery, there is a lot of white space around the most significant pieces of art. Stick to this idea and rather keep the main event easy to reach and clear.

Don't say things for the sake of the search result. A lot of websites use keywords and SEO optimization that aren't relevant to their brand and Google picks up on this. The more genuine you are to the content and keywords that are relevant to your brand, the more Google will reward you. Google rewards authenticity and is smarter than you realise, so make sure your connections to SEO and keywords are authentic.

Even if you love your design and the client adores it, you need to be open to the fact that you may need to change it, whether it be a change in imagery, language or a complete remodeling of the page. It comes down to the fact that you can't be emotionally attached to the work you do. Be passionate, but know that nothing is set in stone. Everything is fluid and can be changed, so be open to changes and be willing to make them.

Oftentimes when it comes to website design and general website optimization you can get very stuck in what you are doing. Especially if you find the task daunting, you could even end up flopping completely - because you can't see it for the way it should be and its flaws. Emotional investment into your work is also a possibility - and happens when you become too connected to it, failing to see the most obvious flaws. You could also come from a different perspective, and be conceptualising how things would work together perfectly in your mind, but may not have effectively communicated this to someone who is seeing the work for the first time. Getting someone who isn't on the project to have a look and see if they can grasp it is the best way to move forward. Other people see things from a new perspective and can often have suggestions that you may not have thought of!
