Common Web Design Mistakes we Strive to Avoid

I wish there was only a "Top 10" list of web design mistakes to avoid. Unfortunately, there are many more. Listed below are those that we at 5 Star Web Design strive to avoid:

Users must know what the site is about in seconds
Do not use fancy fonts that are unreadable by all the common browsers
Do not use tiny fonts
Do not open new browser windows
Do not resize the user’s browser windows
Do not require a registration unless it is necessary
Never subscribe the visitor for something without his/her consent
Avoid overuse of Flash
Never play music ... if you MUST play an audio file, let the user start it
Do not use a HOME Page that then launches the “real” website
Include contact details, e.g., make it easy to find contact information
Avoid breaking the “Back” button
Do not use blinking text
Avoid complex URL structures
Ensure users can search the whole website
Limit the use of “drop down” menus, when possible (drop down menus may be unavoidable if the website has many pages)
Use a simple navigation structure
Make sure your website is cross-browser compatible, e.g., InternetExplorer, FireFox, Safari, Opera, Netscape, etc.
Make links visible
Do not underline or color normal text
Make sure to use the ALT and TITLE attributes for all images
Do not use harsh colors
Do not use pop ups
Include functional links on your footer
Avoid long pages
AVOID horizontal scrolling
No spelling or grammatical mistakes
