Common Mistakes In Web Design

Those making websites, especially those making themselves instead of using a professional web design agency, often make the same mistakes, with these being the main ones to avoid:
One common mistake is to center all the material on your page, giving the website a look that is unprofessional. The books and magazines that you read always use a full page left to right layout for text, so why should web pages be any different? When visitors are faced with a large amount of centered text, they think it looks odd and may click on their web browser’s back button because they simply are not used to the look of large chunks of text which has been centered.
Do not have music that plays on your website because then the site takes longer to load and not everyone will like the music that you select to play. Your visitors might even leave if the music playing while they are waiting for your site to load is displeasing and they feel they are being forced to listen to it. A better option if you must have music on your site is to have a noticeable play button at the top of the pages that the visitors can use to start and stop the music
As at least 20 percent of users either cannot run JavaScript or opt not to, avoid using it for the most essential portions of your site’s design. Any problems which a visitor to your site encounters sends a clear message to them that you are not a real professional who takes the time to fix the problems or update the material you are presenting. The use of JavaScript, then, means that you might lose twenty percent of your visitors before they have looked over the content of your web pages.
As you design, keep in mind that the types of sites which rate the highest on search machines are predominately text and image based, not full flash as search engines are not able to read the content on these sites. You can use flash, but use it sparingly, and be sure that you also include a large amount of text on your site. As the very best sources of bringing traffic to your website are Yahoo, Google, and Bing, do not disregard the advice given above as you will then get very few visitors to your site.
