There are a lot of common mistakes many professional webmasters make. Not to mention the mistakes you and I make as we build our own sites and blogs. While we all must learn from the mistakes we make, you will find that your visitors will not easily forget your mistakes nor forgive your ignorance, by not returning. When creating a web or blog, there are several website design flaws that you need to avoid if you hope to earn your visitors loyalty, and hopefully, some return visits

  1. Avoid using high contrast colours in your website.
  2. Avoid mixing up of unmatched colours in your website.
  3. Avoid too many colours.
  4. Avoid too many pictures.
  5. Avoid too many different fonts.
  6. Avoid too small font sizes.
  7. Avoid fixed font sizes.
  8. Avoid too many special effects
  9. Avoid using fancy fonts everywhere in your website.
  10. Emphasize the important content in your website.
  11. Avoid using flash (swf) files for your website logo.
  12. Avoid using DHTML tricks in your website since it is not supported by many browsers.
  13. Avoid using too big images as your website background, or complex background.
  14. Avoid the misuse of images.
  15. Avoid too many images.
  16. Avoid animations.
  17. Avoid Frames.
  18. Avoid Background Music.
  19. Avoid Clutter.
  20. Avoid Under Construction Signs.
