What should not be done while designing a website

The designing of the website should be very user friendly and it should give an everlasting experience for the first time the user has logged on to your website. Having a decent design for your website matters a lot and it does not mean much what product you are offering. You won’t be able to sell off your product if you have a terrible looking design for your website as in most of the cases the user will be turned off by your website.

A good design of the website does not mean that it should be graphically good looking. There are other main elements that make a web design- convenient design, interface and the whole layout of the design.

There are some elements that should be kept in mind while designing a website:

- You should always avoid introducing the looping music in the background. It is not always pleasurable listening to the music. Let us take an instance if you have a website with 50 pages then every time the user clicks at a new page the background music starts to play and it is very annoying and forces the user to leave your website.

- The website should be user-friendly and it should be easily accessible for the users. The size of the text should be easily readable nor too big that it looks awkward and neither too small that it is not readable for the users. If you are selling a product and if the user is not able to read the text of your website then how do you think he will purchase anything from your website.

- The popup windows are nuisance for some users as they the majority of these windows are useless. Let us say that you have a very important message to communicate and you add it on the popup window that gets eradicated most of the times it is appeared on the user’s screen. You instantly loose your credibility of your website.

The main objective of a website is to fulfill the purpose for which it is prepared. There should not be some minor mistakes so that it becomes an obstacle in the appropriate use of the website.
