No
one’s immune to mistakes. Even in web design, where a designer has
complete control and freedom over his masterpiece, mistakes can be
done, at least when compared against certain web design standards.
Here are some of the most common mistakes that you must avoid in
order to create a successful website.
Rare
Font Style
It’s
nice to be unique but when it comes to web design, you should know
where to draw the line. When putting text, remember that your goal is
to build an effective communication between you and your website’s
visitor. If the font style you use already makes the text illegible,
replace it with a simpler font. Always consider the beauty of
simplicity.
Scroll
Horizontally
Some
webpages contain so much information that they have to be provided
with a horizontal scrolling option. Although useful, this is
considered a no-no in web design. What you should do instead is to
adjust the resolution of the entire webpage until everything fits in
the margin. Scrolling down, though, is acceptable.
Requiring
Too Much Information
If
you’re designing a website where visitors can register or
subscribe, be careful what information you’ll require them to
provide. There are people who are reluctant to provide so much
information because they are wary of where it will be used. Be sure
to ask only the most important questions and don’t go overboard
with them.
