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.
As a website designer, there is a certain responsibility that you must accept. Many customers have there own ideas as to what kind of website look that they are seeking. Your job as a professional web designer is to be able to take their ideas and give them sound advice to avoid creating an irritating website.
Today I am going to share with you my top five most irritating website designs of all time. Your list may be longer, but this is my top five.
Pop Ups:
Many people say that pop ups have actually increase their sales, but I cant imagine how when everyone I know hates them. Pop ups are especially annoying when you are in a hurry.
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:
Using a light text color with a light background is really hard to read. A customer should not have to work their eyes too hard to read your content.
Font That Are Too Large:
Fonts that are too large may work well for the creator of the website, but for most of us, it looks sort of like a preschool book.
Too Much Clutter:
While a website that has a lot of good content is a good thing, a website that is unorganized will take make a visitor use the back browser fast. If you are going to have a lot of content, a good trick to use is drop down menus.
What one person may find to be a well designed website, someone else may find to be not so wonderful. The way to avoid creating a web design that is acceptable by most is to keep everything in moderation.
