"How to rebuild a web site that works "
The Internet continues to grow in popularity and importance for consumers and businesses. Therefore, the quality of your site needs to keep pace. Creating and maintaining a high-quality web site is more important now than ever, because higher quality equals more revenue. It is critical that you consider the site visitor's experience in some fundamental ways. The following is a list of the top 7 things to avoid when building a web site. - Over the top Animation : Skip it, 7 year olds like showy animation, business professionals want attractive easy to use content.
- Too Much Scrolling : Once I scroll down a full screen's worth, my eyes start to blur. Limit the use of long pages.
- No Obvious Ways to Contact the Company : If all you supply is an email address on your Web site, your legitimacy may be questioned. Not everyone wants to read your site, they just want to view you and contact you.
- Unchanging or Out-of-Date Content :If I start reading content on a site and soon discover that it was written three years ago, I split.
- Non-Explanatory Buttons or Links : Use clearly understood links, not Jeopardy categories.
- Inconsistent Navigation, look and feel : People don’t want to hunt for information. Making site visitors work and grow weary from constantly changing format is annoying. Scale down the artsy gimmicky elements and scale up the simplicity and function.
- Overuse of photos and gifs :More photos and gifs equal slower load speeds. Unless your business depends upon photography, limit stuffing your site full of them. Another option is to link your site to facebook and other photo sharing sites.
