Everyone sees beauty from their very own perspective. When creating a quality web design however, you must make certain that you are able to satisfy your customers perception of what beauty is as well.
As a website designer, there is a certain responsibility that you must accept. Many customers have there own ideas as to what kind of website look that they are seeking. Your job as a professional web designer is to be able to take their ideas and give them sound advice to avoid creating an irritating website.
Today I am going to share with you my top five most irritating website designs of all time. Your list may be longer, but this is my top five.
Pop Ups:
Many people say that pop ups have actually increase their sales, but I cant imagine how when everyone I know hates them. Pop ups are especially annoying when you are in a hurry.
Loud Flash Presentations:
Flash headers can sometimes bring a website to life and catch a visitors attention. The problem I have with flash presentations are the loud ones that do not give you the option to turn the music off. The customer should always have the choice of whether they want to hear your music or not.
Light Colored Fonts With A Similar Background:
Using a light text color with a light background is really hard to read. A customer should not have to work their eyes too hard to read your content.
Fonts That Are Too Big:
Big fonts are unattractive because they give the feel of being in preschool. No one likes words that jump out of the page. It is a sure fire way to drive away your visitors.
Too Much Clutter:
Good content on a website is encouraged by many as well as the search engines. The problem with having too much content is when it is unorganized. A good way to solve this issue is by using drop down menus with multiple pages.
Creating a website that is appealing to many is an art that the experienced designers understand. What your client may find to be the best designed website, may not be as appealing to someone else. The key is to make websites that are moderate in order to not offend the masses.
