Not realy.
The background should be keep relatively simple with relatively low contrast, 
thi lead to a beter compression when using PNG or JPG. It can even be an 
animated GIF or MNG, keep the animation very sober and simple ;)
Re-use your elements as much as possible: if a simgle element is shown 10 times, 
it's only loaded once.
Place all your graphics and CSS sheets together, in the same folder exept for 
those that only show on a single page. For any given image that show on more 
than one page, if it was loaded in a previous page, it will be reloaded from the 
cache, not the server. This will save you storage space and bandwidth, while 
making your site easier and faster to maintain and navigate.
Don't use Front Page, it will place a copy of every image and CSS sheets in 
every page's folder, forcing them to reload from the server for every page 
visited, wasting space, precious bandwidth and visitors time.
