Are You Making These Web Design Mistakes?
SiteProNews had a good article on web design and highly recommend its reading. But as a summary, here are some web design mistakes to stay away from:
- A completely black background with light or white text superimposed upon it. Yeah, no kidding. Can you say, “Ugly?”
- A completely black background with dark words. Uggh. Even uglier!
- Complicated, tiled images. This can increase your website’s load time and make it difficult for visitors to want to stay.
- Some designers bold every other line of text and italicize the rest. Really? Please don’t do that. It looks gaudy and is very hard to read.
- Pages consisting solely of links. OK, that’s just plain annoying.
- “Funny” content. Be careful with humor. Not everyone has your sense of humor and some things can be misconstrued.
- Overly large images. Again, this slows down your load time and if visitor’s see that it takes too long for a page to load they will go somewhere else.
- Embedded audio. This is a huge pet peeve. Don’t force people to listen to your style of music. That will drive away customers so quickly.
