Web Design The 10 biggest mistakes
Web Design The 10 biggest mistakes There are a number of mistakes in the world of web design. Let's look at what I believe to be the greatest 10th 1. Too many ads. If you try to withdraw funds from your website, it's all too easy to overwhelm your website with ads. Put in your useame and a good hard look at your site and ask yourself if you feel the ads intrusive. The site is a source of information or does it feel more like a page-holder for the ads? 2nd Plugin Overload. You have to use the plug-in for up to 1 species per page. When a flash, then you can not have a media player, or if you use Java, not flash. It is not that bad to use the same plugin but twice. 3rd Flash Intros. Please, not with a Flash intro on your site. They were so exaggerated that they become widely derided. 4th It 'clear layout and navigation. Many web sites, corporate sites in particular, suffer from some type of illness, if the task easier of the 10 stages. If users are asking how to use the things on your website, you must create the layout and navigation. There are some tasks that people often want the first page. 5th N. Flag for exteal links. There are 2 types of links: inteal (in other parts of your site) and exteal (to other websites). For the benefit of users, it is best if you mark exteal links, is a different color or with a kind of symbol (a box with an arrow is the usual one). It 'also good to get the exteal links open in a new window so that people do not leave your site in general, if you click on it. 6. Unclear connection. Some Web pages have links to show only when people have the mouse over them. Although this will lead to the design look better, is not very easy to use. Instead, use a clear contrasting color to the links and, preferably, that stress. This makes them visible to the user, in an easy to use. 7th Without a label e-mail link. Always clear that a link to send e-mail (a "mailto" link) with the term "electronic mail". If you click on a name to send e-mail, you can annoy users who are expected to lea more about the person. 8th Links broken. You should regularly check the links, to ensure that they are all still. There is nothing worse than a Web site that is useful only to discover that it has not been updated in years, so that most of the links do not work. While a website is usually after a while 'time, this does not mean you should neglect essential maintenance. 9th Strange characters. Stick to the most common web fonts: that is very simple Arial, Georgia, Tahoma and Verdana. If you have more obscure fonts, then most users do not have - and those who find the text difficult to read. The only non-standard characters in your logo or positions, and only when they are displayed as an image. 10th Bad text size. It is important that the text of the default size. Make the text too big or too small, it is difficult to read and annoying for many users. The best thing you can do is relatively sizing text (no points), the browser that allows users the preferred font size. You are advised to consult with the buttons on your site to increase or decrease the font size.
