WEBDESIGN MISTAKES

There are some design mistakes that appear commonly and they also make people to complain. We must know these commonly mistakes in order not to do it again.
1. Legibility:
Bad fonts cause trouble. Small font sizes or low contrast between text and background make it hard to read.
Be careful when using text , color .

2. Non-Standard Links
The link are not obvious cause trouble when interactive.
We should use colored and underlined text to indicate text links. It will be better if we put small explanation below the link to clarify which page the link will lead to.

3. Flash
Using flash in webpage cause big trouble. Although someone might think that flash is useful, however, when put it in a website, it flickering which will make the viewer confused and annoyed.
Don't use flash in a website. Try to make the content much more interesting. Remember " Less is more".

4. Unsuitable content:
Content written for the Web is not suit, not use common language or the content is too long and boring.
Try to make content short, scannable, interesting. Use common language rather than made - up words.

5. Browser Incompatibility
Don't turn away customers just because they prefer a different platform.
