Please tell me that jumbled layout was just an example! haha.. Sadly I know I do some of these things. I try not to.

Another good one is making a user scroll down on the page before they see any relevant content. There are so many blog templates with things like a HUGE header image that is of something pretty like nature but has nothing to do with the blog posts.

ften times we forget that the clients opinion is just as important as the end user. Even if we dont agree with it.

being a real novice in website design, i found all of the information helpful. what i could not figure out was why the author failed to proof read the article and check spelling. i always skip a beat when something like that happens, and i find it distracting.

Flash has its place. I think it can be a fun if it is a tasteful addition and not detracting to the client. The web does not have to be simply a series of forms containing lists of lists.

Often times we forget that the clients opinion is just as important as the end user. Even if we dont agree with it.

That said, their are some really good examples of what to avoid.

Cool topic. I had problems like that in my blog. that way asking a web designer or give him the job is a good idea.

thanks for the post. ^^

Great article, its amazing how many people think splash pages are “neat” or “cool” when really they are a waste of time. Hopefully I can convince new clients that this is the truth. Thanks again for the post.

So true and quite a laugh to read because so many sites out there are badly designed!

Some people just don’t have an eye for detail.

This is less of a mistake and more like a plague.
Flash Page Turners
Is it just me that thinks flash page turners are the most stupid thing on the web.
This person seems to think that the page turner is going to save the print industry.

There i was thinking that the future of print might be Amazon’s Kindle, or the rumored apple tablet or maybe you can never replace that in your hand feeling of ink on paper.

But no none of the above the future of print is some stupid animation effect that you have to fill with irritating arrows because it’s not clear how to navigate the content.

I found funny the advertising thing. Nowadays most newcomers fill out the sites with so many ads that we have a hard time understand what is a real link, or a ad link. Same happens with content too.
