Developers tend to go above and beyond so as to code a perfect website that offers an exceptional user experience. Despite all their efforts, there are a few mistakes that they commit. Let’s have a look at them:

Page bloating:

This is a result of creating pages filled with a number of high-quality graphics, & images using the element <img> along with its height and width attributes. Linking a large number of files on the page using CSS and JavaScript leads to page bloat as well. As a consequence, the pages take too long to load which may also result in errors.

Improper input validation:

most major back-end development platforms use simple annotations to assure that submitted data are adhering to expected rules. Implementing validation might be time-consuming, but it should be part of your standard coding practice and never set aside.

Using outdated HTML:

Using outdated HTML such as tags that are not supported in current HTML standard or spacing items on a page with a large number of “&nbsp" entities, is yet another mistake that web developers make. This can result in over-complicated markup that behaves inconsistently across multiple browsers.

Neglecting the SEO part:

When it comes to SEO, developers tend to work towards the quality of content, tags, keywords, meta-data, site map, etc and feel contented. However, SEO is much more than this. It includes eliminating duplicate content, having crawlable site architecture, intelligent back linking and a lot more.

Incompatibility issues:

This is yet another website development that is commonly committed by the developers. When development assumes viewing on the same size monitor as the developer/designer, the end result is an unresponsive website. This makes the user experience suffer.

Overdoing the code:

Though it is good to work towards the compatibility part of a website but getting carried away and overdoing the code is of no use. It only results in heaps of “if” statements branching out in all the different directions. This further results in bulky code files that are not easy to manage.
