Having a web site is not a rare matter now. Almost all the ventures that are being started or has started already, launches a website of their own to spread their presence around the world. So starting a web site nowadays is a simple thing but making it well usable and popular is a tough thing since the number of websites that share almost the same niche is very high. So in order to make your website popular and usable you may have to avoid some usual blunders that beginner web designers or bloggers do. Lets see those silly but serious blunders that we are likely to do.
<strong>Avoid Stylish, Fancy and Tiny Fonts</strong>
If you own a site that has to say a lot means that has a lot of texts then please avoid using stylish, fancy and tiny fonts. Use the fonts that can be well read by an old guy too. Use of stylish or fancy fonts will be more appropriate for a site that share very little text means some sites that share photos, videos, etc.......... So use fonts that can read properly.
<strong>Never Remove the Search Box</strong>
Make your site searchable, if a person is coming to your site for a particular topic he is likely to use the search box to find his need, so never forget to add a search box in your site. Since the websites nowadays contains a lot of info's, it is difficult for one to find a specific topic from it, this problem can be rectified using an internal search box.
<strong>Direct Access</strong>
Time has become the most valuable thing in our life hence no one likes to waste their time on specific things while a lot of same kind are available in the market. Therefore you should avoid using some ads or requests or some intro's before giving access to your site. A lot of sites asks it's users to see a video or to read a book or to download something before they are given the permission to the real content, as a result people gets annoyed and wont like to come back to you further.
<strong>Avoid Harsh Colors</strong>
Using colors that make terrible feeling is not a good practice, so avoid using harsh colors. We cannot say that this color is terrible or that one is, etc............. it depends on you, but you know that some colors are always hated by everyone, like if the color red or such dark colors are used throughout the site it won't see good. So better use colors that are favorite to all, and always my choice is white body background.
<strong>Avoid Pop Ups</strong>
The most hated item by almost all users, keeps them bored or tired clicking the Skip or Cross button on the pop up screens. In most cases pop ups are generated by the ad providers and most of the bloggers or website owners ( including me ) likes to use it hence it earns much more than an ad which is placed in the site. So a pop up is an item that creates difficulty for our viewers so better avoid it.
<strong>No Horizontal Scroll</strong>
Use a design that is screen fit, you may scroll down if it contents are much but never make a user scroll horizontal. Scrolling down is more easier as it can be done using our mouse's scroll but scrolling side ways ( horizontal ) is a bot difficult and consumes more time than scrolling down, so usually people doesn't like it hence better avoid horizontal scrolling.
<strong>Open Page in Same Window</strong>
Opening every page in a new window is an irritating practice. It is ok to open a page in the same window itself, as opening a new window always will make the processes slow and boring. So avoid opening pages in new window.
<strong>Avoid Stylish, Fancy and Tiny Fonts</strong>
If you own a site that has to say a lot means that has a lot of texts then please avoid using stylish, fancy and tiny fonts. Use the fonts that can be well read by an old guy too. Use of stylish or fancy fonts will be more appropriate for a site that share very little text means some sites that share photos, videos, etc.......... So use fonts that can read properly.
