5 Don’ts for designing a good website

The design of your website is a reflection of your style.

A poor choice of web design can have a negative impact on your business.

Your website design plays a major role in the online reputation of your business. So, you need to choose it wisely. Here are the five things you need to avoid when designing a website:

Don’t put up PDF files:

A PDF file tends to break down the flow while browsing. This is because standard browser commands do not work when trying to print or save PDF documents. Also, the layout of a PDF file is optimized for a sheet of paper resulting in a rough scrolling. Moreover, the text size is too small and the navigation of such files is not easy.

Don’t just place huge blocks of text:

The attention span of users is too short. They do not read the website content unless they really need it. Instead, they just scan the entire thing. Now, when the designers just put blocks of text on a website and do not pay any attention to the headings, sub-headings, keywords and other such things, it makes the content difficult to scan.

Don’t go crazy with colors:

A flashy website with a color scheme that doesn’t contrast enough doesn’t look attractive. Instead, it may just drive your visitors away. Using too many colors or the colors that do not contrast each other make your website look clumsy.

Don’t neglect broken links:

Broken links refer to the hyperlinks that either do nothing when clicked or lead to “404” error pages. These are the links that do not work as promised and piss off the visitor. Neglecting such links is yet another mistake that designers commit.

Don’t hide the core information:

Hiding important information such as search bar, return policies, directions, FAQs, store hours, product descriptions, blogs etc. is also a part of the mistakes committed while designing a website.
