Some Most Common Web Design Mistakes You Should Avoid

While creating a website you might find numerous programs that might be helpful. Apparently it is believed that web design should be easily done by anyone. So even if you are not a professional designer you might be able to create a good website by using a software program. So when you have chosen the right software program for your website design, what else should you know that would give your website the “wow” look? In this post, we have mentioned some important points that should be kept in mind while designing the website and some common mistakes done by amateur designers.

Most importantly, your design should be unique. Good or bad, whatever, but it should be unique and original. If the design is fantastic but it is identical with the design of another website then it is of no use. Remember, your website is the representation of your business on the internet so you need to spend some time and come up with something original and interesting. So mistake number one is to create a design resembling the design of another website.

Another important point to mention is that you should avoid using Flash. Some people are fascinated by Flash and want to have a Flash website but believe me it should be avoided at all cost. There are many disadvantages of Flash and the most important ones that Flash websites are not supported by search engines and mobile devices. People are fascinated with Flash because it definitely looks neat and it will be able to impress the visitors of the website. But since search engines can not crawl and index Flash websites, people will not be able to find the website through search engines. Flash websites can not be optimized for search engines because search engine bots can not crawl Flash websites. Moreover, Flash websites are usually not supported by mobile devices and computer tablets. Mistake number two is to create a Flash website.

Every website usually has some images. You should also have images on your website, but remember, it is always recommended to use your own exclusive pictures and images on your website instead of using stock images. This is also among the mistakes that web designers make while designing a website. Even if there are no copyrights issues, it would not look professional if the image that you have on your website is also present on the website of your competitor. So instead of looking for stock images, simply hire a professional photographer and upload some original and exclusive images on your website. Mistake number three, using stock images on your website.
