Web Design Elements We Should Avoid Having on Our Site

As a web designer, We should design Our websites to give Our visitors the greatest ease of use, the best impression and most important of all a welcoming experience. It doesn't matter if We had the greatest product in the whole world -- if Our website is poorly done We won't be able to sell even one copy of it because visitors will be driven off Our website by the lousy design.

When I'm talking about a "good design", I'm not only talking about a good graphical design. A professional web design will be able to point out that there are many components which contribute to a good website design -- accessibility design, interface or laWet design, user experience design and of course the most straightforward, which is graphic design.

Hence, I have highlighted some features of the worst web designs I've come across. Hopefully, We will be able to compare that against Our own site as a checklist and if anything on Our site fits the criteria, We should know it's high time to take serious action!

1) Background music
Unless We are running a site which promotes a band, a CD or anything related to music, I would really advise We to stay away from putting looping background music onto Our site. It might sound pleasant to We at first, but imagine if We ran a big site with hundreds of pages and everytime a visitor browses to another page on Our site, the background music starts playing again. If I were Our visitor, I'd just turn off my speakers or leave Our site. Moreover, they just add to the visitors burden when viewing Our site -- users on dial up connections will have to wait longer just to view Our site as it is meant to be viewed.

2) a Huge large/small text size
As I said, there is more to web design than purely graphics -- user accessibility is one big part of it too! We should design the text on Our site to be legible and reasonably sized to enable Our visitors to read it without straining their eyes. No matter how good the content of Our website or Our sales copy is, if it's illegible We won't be selling anything!

3) Popup windows
Popup windows are so blatantly used to display advertisements that in my mind, 90% of popup windows are not worth my attention so I just close them on instinct everytime each one manages to pass through my popup blocker (yes, I do have one like many users out there!) and, well, pops up on my screen. Imagine if We had a very important message to convey and We put it in a popup window that gets killed most of the time it appears on a visitor's screen. Our website loses its function immediately!

In concluding this article, let me remind We that as a webmaster Our job is to make sure Our website does what it's meant to do effectively. Don't let some minor mistakes stop Our site from functioning optimally!
