If you want to create a successful web site you should avoid web
design mistakes. Even if you are a blogger, don’t miss this post because most
of the mistakes given by this post related to blog also.
1.
No clear idea about you web site in the home page
When
someone land to your blog, he/she should be able to find what the blog is about
within few second by looking at the home page. So it should be very clean and
clear.
2.
Using tiny fonts or very large fonts
All
your visitors like to read your content very quickly. So they don’t like tiny
fonts or very large fonts and also it will kill your web professional look.
3.
Bad font usage
This
point is related to my second point. So don’t use fancy fonts like following
picture.
4. Too many advertisements
Some
web masters view is that,
Too
many advertisements=More money
No.
This is totally wrong. If you add too many advertisements to your web site, you
will lose your valuable readers because nobody lands your web to check your
advertisements.
5.
Auto-popups
Most
people hate auto-popups on any blog (Specially auto-popups ads). Some bloggers
add subscriptions box or Facebook like box as an auto-popup. Actually it is an
unnecessary work because you may get few subscribes, but you lose more than
that. The thing is because no one would subscribe your blog without reading the
content.

6.
No images
Your
blog readers are humans, they’re not machines. So try to use images to happy
your readers. Remember that some images say million words.
7.
No paragraph
If
you don’t use paragraph, it will be hard for your readers to read content.
8.
Using colourful backgrounds
Professional
web designers don’t recommend colourful backgrounds. Make your background plain
or in light colours. But for creating some special web sites you have to use
colourful backgrounds.
9.
Same colour for links.
Normal
text colour and link colour should be different. So it will help to your
readers to find the links very easily.
10.
Same colour for both visited and unvisited links
This
is also a web design mistake. Visited link colour and unvisited link colour
should be different. I’m also doing this mistake. But I will correct it very
soon.
11.
Unwanted registration
Always
try to give your all services to your users without registration form. But if
it is necessary, create a simple registration form.
12.
Too long registration forms
Some
registration forms are too long. Your readers don’t like that type forms. So
include only the necessary things for registration forms.

13.
Playing music on loading
Don’t
do this. If you are running a web site like radio channel, it is not a big
problem.
If you want to play music, let the user do it.
If you want to play music, let the user do it.
14.
Using drop-down menu
If
you can build your web site without drop-down menu don’t use it. Drop-down
menus may hide some links to your readers.
15.
Hard navigation bar
Always
try to create a simple navigation bar.
16.
Advertisements links and normal links are in same colour
You
can make more money by doing this mistake. But you will lose your readers
trust. If you want to make more money, first of all get the faith of readers.
17.
Not using alt tag for images
Don’t
forget that Google have an image search engine. So optimization of images for
search engines is a important thing.
18.
Using too many JavaScript
If
you can do your work without JavaScript, so don’t use JavaScript.
Ex:
You can do form validation in JavaScript. But it is good to validate a
form using HTML5.
19.
PDF files for online reading
Most
people hate PDF file for online reading. So don’t do that.
20.
Opening in a new tab
Opening
inbound links in a new tab is not a good thing. (Every browser has a back
button.)
21.
Too many social sharing buttons
Don’t
use too many social sharing buttons, use only popular social sharing buttons.
If you use too many social sharing buttons you web site would be slow.
22.
Complex look
Always
try to create a simple interface like Google, Twitter, Facebook or Wikipedia.
23.
No search box
Your
readers may want to search something in your web site. So add a search box for
your web site.
24.
No about me page
After
reading your articles, your readers may want to know about you, so add a about me page.
25.
No contact form
After
knowing about you, they may want to contact you, so add a contact form.
