Common Mistakes of Web Designing

Web design is the key factor in bringing traffic to your website. The success of you web design depends on how many visitors are coming to your websites. If your website is capable of holding these visitors that means your web design is attractive and user friendly. There are so many pro's of web designing but at the same time we can't deny that there are many cons of web designing as well. Web designer usually make mistake while designing a website. One would avoid these mistakes to bring more visitors. The first thing that one should keep in mind is that your website should look attractive and creative but the design of your website shouldn't be confusing to your visitors. Navigation is the most important part of web design. You should make it as simple as you can. You must look at the website from visitor's point of view so that you understand about the likes of a visitor. Where a visitor would like to go on your website and you should easily direct him to that place like price, availability, plans etc of the services and products you provide.

Do not use flash application on your website until unless there is a strong need of using it. You are recommended to replace flash by high quality and fast loading images. In any case if you are using Flash then the files must load quickly otherwise your visitor might get irritated. Do not use big ads on you website as they are out of fashion and no more attractive. If you desperately require flash ads then try to have small ads.

There are many sites which play sound when someone comes to it. It can irritate a visitor if he is browsing the website from his office and suddenly an audio/music starts playing. It can turn out to be a worst case scenario if there is no On/Off button or volume control on the screen. So avoid audio video description. In case you desperately need to use these features then make sure there is an On/Off and volume control button clearly visible to the visitor.

Non working or dead links can damage the image of your website. Keep an eye on these links and try to get rid of these links as soon as possible. 404 error messages can have a bad impression of your website on your visitor. Never depend on pop-ups as it can prove to be a negative feature for your website. Most of the internet users don't allow pop ups so it's better not to depend on pop ups.

If you want to bring more traffic on your website then try to avoid these common web design mistakes.

Fashion Designers Needed - I am looking for anyone out there with formal and/or informal fashion design education - whether you learned in school or you learned from you mother, I would be interested in talking with you. I am in the process of developing a clothing line - its my biggest dream - and the further that I get into it the more I realize that I can't do this on my own. Designing 4 seasons of clothing is not something that one person can do. I need people that are interested at getting in from the ground up - starting off not making much but building the empire along with me. Thank you for your time and consideration, I hope to work with some of you in the very near future. Best Regards
Re: 365 Foolish Mistakes Smart Managers Make - [quote="litekepr":2v18lglp]This morning's Google Alert held a pleasant surprise. WORTH MENTIONING A List of New Books Compiled by The Management and Government Information Center (MAGIC) Chinn Park Regional Library 703-792-4880Summer 2007 Indicates titles relating to the FISH Philosophy 365 Foolish Mistakes Smart Managers Make Every Day: How and Why to Avoid Them by Shri L. Henkel, 2006 interesting. Is anyone else here familiar with the FISH philosphy? i[/quote:2v18lglp] Congrats on the mention of your book! Hopefully it will drive up sales! For myself, I don't really care for their acronym... MAGIC. Gives people the subtle impression that good things happen at the snap of a finger instead of lots of hard work!
Reality in Television - [quote="SueB":2xhla35c]I've been watching Cashmere Mafia but not Lipstick Jungle. What I like about CM is that these incredibly powerful and success business women are imperfect and older. Kudos to Hollywood for hiring 3 lead actresses who are actually 39-40 vs 25 playing older. The 4th is early-mid 30's.... I'm not sure how old the actresses were in Sex and the City when it aired... Imperfect in that they do have challenges balancing the various aspects of their lives. Take Juliet for instance. She's this high-ranking if not head of some large company (I don't really know what she does) yet she let her husband take care of the money! She probably knows the cash flow particulars for her business though. Common error that many women make but that you wouldn't expect a power woman to make. In this week's episode I thought it was rather interesting and perceptive of the Mia character to realize that her ex-fiancee Jack could only be with her if he was on the same level career-wise. Otherwise his self-esteem took a beating and he left. Her fear being that this is a pattern that would continue. Mind you, her character didn't do anything to support his self esteem when they were competing for the same position. Just a few thoughts...[/quote:2xhla35c] Interesting how they are incorporating real life mistakes that many women make and having their characters do the same things. You gave a couple of very good examples. I can't believe the people - male or female - who turn their paychecks over to their spouse or significant other and have no clue where it goes. I have an aunt that did that for 10+ years and then he husband left - with a large chunk of money she didn't know "they" had. Then she got married some years later and did it again. I wonder sometimes what it takes for people to learn a lesson. Shri
Re: HOw to market a B2B consulting company - How about providing a white paper on Common security holes (only mention the ones that the prospect can easily and inexpensively fix themselves). Towards the end explain that there are other greater security flaws that exist and that you provide a "Free Security Consultation and Report". They could use this report to get cheaper quotes but you are getting so much more... you get face time with the company and get to build rapport with them. I know of a company here in Toronto that does Energy Audits on your home and provide you with a report on ways you can save energy- they also also offer to fix it for you through their suppliers. they had a story run on them on Earth Day this year and they were bombarded with over 200 calls in one day to have these audits done. The audits are done for free. You could write up a shocking story on Security and holes that exist within businesses today and submit this story to the newspapers business edition or to a Trade Magazine written for the industry you are trying to serve. Most journalists may pick up this article and feature it or interview you directly. Also, I would redesign your site to be more Information-based to educate potential prospects (how to solve common security issues) rather than it being all about the company - people are more interested in solving their problem and often aren't searching the internet for a particular company by name unless it is well established. So give them juicy information freely. note: When I first heard this idea of giving away free information about solving a problem I was hesitant to use it in my web design business. I gave it a try anyways and the amazing part was that even the easy inexpensive things I advised them they could fix in their websites they offered to pay me to do it for them - from there I was able to upsell them on greater improvements. I've since sold this company - but it was fun!
Managing Your Brand - One of the biggest hurdles for a lot of business owners to leap when it comes to the internet is realizing that people will be talking about your company whether you like it or not. And that includes good AND bad. Mistakes are bound to happen in any business, but when they do it's quite possible that the story will wind up on the internet where anyone searching for your business can find it. If you're not maintaining an effective presence on the web or mortgage broker websites, you're going to have two problems if this happens. The negative review could wind up ranking high in the search results, so whenever somebody searches for your business, this could be one of the first things they see. The review might be accurate if a mistake really was made, or it might be completely inaccurate, but that potential customer has no way of knowing for sure (and is more than likely going to accept it as fact). You won't have a chance to explain the situation and fix it. The solution here is to be a part of the conversation. In other words, engage your customers where these kinds of things might appear so you can try to correct any mistakes that were actually made, or explain your side if it's completely inaccurate. There are two of the places that these kinds of discussions can happen - Facebook and Twitter. It's important that you have a presence on both, if only as a point of contact for your customers who are already in those places. Imagine this scenario… One of your employees has been dealing with a customer, and the customer is unhappy with the service they received. But instead of coming to you and giving you the opportunity to fix the problem, they go to these websites and post about the problem and how unhappy they were with your company. If you don't have a presence on Twitter or Facebook, you might never know about it. But people who are looking for information about your company online could quite likely find that information whenever they search for you. Now think about this... If you are active on those sites, on the other hand, you can jump in and try to correct the situation. This is not only going to give you a chance to turn an unhappy customer into a happy one (who might also become one of your biggest supporters at that point) it's also going to add your side of things to the "record" of the situation on the internet. Now when someone searching for you finds that review/complaint, they're also going to see your response, and the fact that you tried to correct the situation for that unhappy customer. Which scenario would you prefer?
