| Keep your backgrounds simple. White or light colors usually work best. Your background should not compete with the content of the page for the users attention. If you would like to use a background picture, select a picture that uses muted colors or format your picture as a watermark. Select text colors which will contrast well with the background picture. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
  Constantly
running animations can be
distracting when used excessively. There should be no more than one
animated object in your view at any time. Also in this category are
excessive, large,
obnoxious
advertisements. |

| Excessive advertisements: Aggressive pop ups, banners, flash ads and other intrusive ads annoy your visitors, make your site difficult to use and bury your message in a sea of clutter. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Enjoying the
music?
Your website visitors
probably won't enjoy it either. Usually, it is best to skip the tunes,
but if you must add music, be sure you provide a way for them to turn
it off!
Place the following HTML5
tag where
you want the
music player to display: <audio controls="" autoplay="" loop=""> <source src="soundfile path" type="audio/"type"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </source> Replace
"soundfile
path"
with the path to your audio file. 'Type' specifies the MIME-type. Enter
the number of
times it should run in the "loop"
tag. If you leave it
empty, it will run until the visitor turns it
off. More on HTML5 Audio here. |

 Unnecessary
use of technology:
Splash pages which require you sit through a long download and don't
offer a 'skip intro' option. Especially torturous on a dial-up
connection. |

error messages:

Pictures which don't load
properly
could be due to mislabled files, improper or unusual file exensions or
errors in the path to the image file.

engines. Remember 'Content is King' so include plenty of original,
interesting content. Weave important keywords into your text and be
sure to use descriptive image tags. |

Orphan

no way back to
the originating
page. These can cause users to get 'stuck.' |

| Other Browsers & Screen Resolutions: Internet Explorer may be the most widely used browser, but it is not the only one. Others include Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera to name a few. Different browsers may display your page very differently. Check your website in as many different browsers as possible. Check it in various screen resolutions. Using tables may help control the layout. Avoid components which only render properly in specific browsers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

DOWNLOAD
TIME is one
of the most
important factors in your web design. Most web surfers will not wait
for more than 10-15 seconds for your page to load before they move on.
Use pictures that load quickly and thumbnails to link to large images.
Avoid excessive scripts and widgets which increase your load time and
offer little value to users. |
