Web design has come a long way since the animated GIFs of dancing hamsters in the 90s. Now web design is about how to communicate effectively with the user, pointing them in the right direction so that they can find what they came for.
There are many common mistakes designers make when designing a website. Some examples include:
- Bad contrast. Having colours on your site which can make the text unreadable.
- Bad navigation. From poorly worded links to mystery meat navigation, users that cannot find a way around your site will result in users leaving.
- Misusing Flash like using annoying animations and music you cannot turn off.
- Using tiny fonts. Like bad contrast, using tiny fonts can make the text unreadable.
These are just a small sample of the mistakes designers make when designing a site. If you are not making these mistakes then you are on your way to creating a friendly user experience on your website.
