> Website Design Disasters To Avoid At All Cost

> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Amber bolton
> Assignee: Jochen Wiedmann
> Priority: Major
>
> Your [web design|https://www.yourdigitalsolution.com.au/web-design-brisbane/]
> is a vital factor that will decide if your company goals will succeed or
> fail. Not only the way your website looks, but its elements and functions can
> affect how the visitors navigate through it. You only have 10 seconds or less
> to create an impression. This critical moment determines if people will leave
> or stay on your website. Unfortunately, many businesses in every industry are
> doing something wrong with their site. It is because they do not completely
> understand the principles of good website design.
> If you do not want to be that website that people leave or ignore, here are
> some common mistakes that must avoid under any circumstances.
> *Too Overwhelming and Confusing*
> A confusing website uses several different themes, typefaces, color palettes,
> images, etc. It occurs when you do not have a clear idea of the brand image
> of your business. When you like too many design templates, you can fall into
> this trap because you want to use them. It can also happen when you view your
> website as individual components instead of as a whole; thus, conveying too
> many ideas at the same time. Uncluttered website design will use one theme,
> one typeface, one logo, and so on, staying with them across all aspects of
> the site
> *Miss the Target*
> As a business owner, you must know your target audience. You have probably
> dedicated some time to creating customer profiles and figuring out how to
> catch the consumers' attention. It is as essential in website design. The way
> your site feels and looks will capture a specific type of visitor. Some
> websites are professional, some are trendy, while others are entertaining.
> Often, a website talks to various types of audiences. If you please different
> kinds of customers, you will likely get a disorderly website. You should
> identify and profile your target audience and align your content with this
> group of people.
> *Almost Nothing Is Happening*
> A website that contains next to nothing on it is considered to be at the end
> of the spectrum. The minimalist design may be the biggest trend today, but it
> will only work if done right. Some business sites are excessively cryptic,
> leaving a lot to the imagination. Your site visitors want to know who you are
> and what your offerings can do for them. Depending on imagery too much on
> your website design without clear direction, it will leave people guessing,
> which is a big mistake.
> *Too Much Is Going On*
> Put relevant and applicable information on your website right away. If people
> cannot understand what your site is all about arriving on your site within a
> few seconds, they will leave. This concept usually causes website owners to
> overflow above the fold. Websites with many texts, images, and many other
> things may take a long time to load, further confusing your visitors. In
> simple words, a crammed website is never a good thing, so avoid creating busy
> designs.
> *Ads in the Wrong Places*
> While many people prefer not to see ads, they are a necessity in the world of
> website design. Advertising is one of the income streams of most websites and
> blogs. On the other hand, too many ads or flashy and noisy ones will only
> annoy visitors, making you lose business. Therefore, scrutinize your ads and
> pay attention to pop-ups. Users will appreciate if your ads are not
> full-screen size, and they are easy to close.
> *Navigation Issues*
> Any issues with your site navigation can damage the attractiveness of your
> website. In these modern times, everything is delivered to us in no time, and
> anything longer causes people to leave your website. One common mistake in
> web design is a navigation menu that is difficult to find. It will be
> frustrating for the users to visit a site and unable to find the search bar
> or the menu bar. The navigational elements of your website design must be
> easily seen and understood.
> *Incorrect Use of Whitespace and Content*
> Content is an integral part of website design. It tells readers your business
> is all about as well as your offerings. Pay close attention to how you layout
> your content on the page, including the fonts you use. Typeface represents
> your brand image, aside from the words you write. For this, choose an
> attractive and legible font. Take advantage of white space to draw the eye
> around your website. If you are using a large block of text, they should not
> be intimidating. Break text up and utilize visual elements to show concepts
> wherever necessary. Your content should always be up-to-date if you do not
> want people to think you have gone out of business.
> *Irrelevant or Unsightly Images*
> Pictures and graphics are vital elements of website design. Images are
> powerful enough to convey complex ideas without having to read the actual
> text. But many businesses use low-quality and irrelevant images inexplicably.
> Such images will mess up your site, turning visitors off. They will only
> confuse and infuriate your readers, as they wonder what you are trying to say.
> *Bad Call to Action*
> Your CTA is important to your website design, as it prompts your target
> market to do something. Your call to action must tell your visitors clearly
> what they need to do. It must have all the essential information, so people
> are aware of what they are going to get from taking action. Make sure to
> include what information you need from your customers. With this, keep the
> filling out of forms to a minimum. Avoid being annoying by giving people a
> few minutes to explore your page before displaying your CTA.
> A unique and compelling website is not an option. Having a poor website may
> cause your business to lose many customers, which means money is out the
> door. See to it that your website design combines form and functionality to
> make it an interesting, enjoyable, usable, and navigable place.
