Common Mistakes in Web Design

Web designs are sometimes abhorrent which essentially drive away people from the site and prevent them from visiting. Company must avoid these situations at all costs. Designer must take a revision if it will happen otherwise it run the risk of allowing the company’s standing to be shrink by clients and customers.

Breaking the design principle - users don’t have to be bothered about what will happen that is why consistency is one of the most powerful usability ethics when things at all times behave the same. When users prove right to their expectations they will assume that they are in control of the system and the more they will like it.

Incompatible color coding - the internet is continuously growing up and the underline and the blue color of text doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to use all of the styling methods. CSS can change the color links that looked like annoying in our sight anyway we wanted. Don’t use an orange graphical navigation, blue links on the main content and dark gray links on your sidebar. Choose one color and stick with it as it will make it easier for the user to identify the items.

Screen resolution - Users don’t like scrolling parallel when on a website. Follow the layout design. The basic principle of attaining this is by means of percentage values for table widths. This allows the text to fill in the whole obtainable space in the browser
