They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there are some things that are universally agreed upon. When designing a website there definitely limitations on what is considered attractive and irritating. That is why quality web design is so important.
The job of a website designer is one that is often two fold. A website designer is responsible for creating great designs as well as avoiding creating designs that are not attractive to the majority. This is sometimes difficult if a client insists in some of the irritating aspects of website designing. This can lead to poor quality web design.
Today I am going to share with you my top five most irritating website designs of all time. Your list may be longer, but this is my top five.
Annoying Pop Ups:
Many people say that pop ups have actually increase their sales, but I can’t imagine how when everyone I know hates them. Pop ups are especially annoying when you are in a hurry.
Loud Flash Presentations:
Loud flash introductions is a feature that I really do not like to use, they can be a great tool for capturing your visitors attention, and at the same time be very irritating with the loud music. This is especially true for the flash intros that do not give the option of skipping the presentation.
Light Fonts On A Light Background:
Using a light text color with a light background is really hard to read. A customer should not have to work their eyes too hard to read your content.
Fonts That Are Too Big:
Big fonts are unattractive because they give the feel of being in preschool. No one likes words that jump out of the page. It is a sure fire way to drive away your visitors.
Too Much Clutter:
While a website that has a lot of good content is a good thing, a website that is unorganized will take make a visitor use the back browser fast. If you are going to have a lot of content, a good trick to use is drop down menus.
Creating quality web design that is appealing to many is an art that the experienced designers understand. What your client may find to be the best designed website, may not be as appealing to someone else. The key is to make websites that are moderate in order to not offend the masses.
