Mistakes to Avoid in a Website Design

Posted by Ben Johnson on January - 15 - 2013

When you are surfing on the web, it would be easy to agree on a point that there are websites on the internet which make no sense at all. Designing a quality website is not an impossible task to achieve. It is quite essential to design/implement/create a user friendly web interface with an appropriate view ability rather many web developers and website owners fail to achieve that appealing touch. We all know that, even if the first glance of the website is not user friendly, the visitor will make a run for it to get as far as he/she could. To avoid all that, there are some ineffective steps that you should not follow.

Avoid complex navigation on your website:

While visiting your website, users should be able to find their way around and out very easily. If standards of navigation are not followed, things might seem complex. So keep a simple yet attractive profile.

Don’t make your website a huge question mark for your visitors:

Your website might not work when your visitors land at your website, but they get no clue of where they have landed and why were they even here? Make sure that you have “back to the homepage” button on every of your navigation pages.

Avoid a long speech on your website. Try to make words short and effective:

You are trying to address your visitors. So try to keep the text short and to the point.

Try not to make the download time slow and complex:

Make your web page effective and adaptable.

Don’t add too much pop-up ads and colorful banners:

Don’t represent your website as a classified newspaper. Make it a professional web interface.

Avoid outdated information on your website:

Don’t put information on your website which is related to pre-historic times. Be up to date.

It is important to get an impressive website created. But if you make the mistakes mentioned above, you will lead your website towards a complete failure.

    Definitely agree with the navigation part. Some designers make the nav look pretty, but not functional. Functional first, then pretty.
