Beauty is supposed to be in the eye of the beholder, but you must be careful about your ideas when designing a website. Your website should definitely contained your ideas while being able to be attractive to your customers at the same time.
The job of a website designer is one that is often two fold. A website designer is responsible for creating great designs as well as avoiding creating designs that are not attractive to the majority. This is sometimes difficult if a client insists in some of the irritating aspects of website designing.
Some of you may not be sure what I am talking about when I refer to irritating, so I have compile a list to explain further.
Pop Up Windows:
There are many marketers who praise the "pop ups" as a great marketing tool, but I have not found anyone yet that is not annoyed by pop up windows.
Loud Flash Presentations:
Flash headers can sometimes bring a website to life and catch a visitors attention. The problem I have with flash presentations are the loud ones that do not give you the option to turn the music off. The customer should always have the choice of whether they want to hear your music or not.
Light Colored Fonts With A Light Background:
Light colored text on a website with a similar light background is very confusing. It makes the words extremely difficult to read. If your customers can not read the content of your website, then what is the purpose of creating a website in the first place.
Fonts That Are Too Big:
Big fonts are a big turn off in my book. Whenever I land on a website with big fonts, I generally turn the page quickly. It generally makes me feel like I am reading a Sesame Street book.
To Much Going On:
Good content on a website is encouraged by many as well as the search engines. The problem with having too much content is when it is unorganized. A good way to solve this issue is by using drop down menus with multiple pages.
Creating quality web designs takes a lot of consideration. You must take into account what your targeted visitors may or may not like. In the end, the best designed websites are the ones that are moderate and incorporate everyone.
