As a Philadelphia Website Developer, you should design your web sites to provide your visitors the greatest ease of use, the finest impression and most significant of all a welcoming experience. It doesn't matter if you had the best product in the whole world -- if your website is poorly prepared you won't be able to market even one copy of it because visitors will be driven off your site by the lousy design.
When I'm talking about a "good design", I'm not only talking about a good graphical development. A Professional Philadelphia Web Design will be able to point out that there are many components which contribute to a high-quality web site design -- accessibility design, interface or layout design, customer experience design and of course the most straightforward, which is graphic design.
Hence, I have highlighted a number of features of the worst website designs I've come across. Hopefully, you will be able to compare that against your own internet as a checklist and if anything on your internet site fits the criteria, you should know it's high time to take critical action!
Background music
Unless you are managing a internet site which promotes a band, a CD or anything associated to music, I would really advise you to stay away from putting looping background music onto your internet. It might sound pleasant to you at first, but imagine if you ran a big website with hundreds of webpages and everytime a customer browses to an additional webpage on your internet, the background music begins playing yet again. If I were your visitor, I'd just turn off my speakers or depart your site. Furthermore, they just add to the visitors burden when viewing your internet site -- users on dial up connections will have to remain longer just to view your internet site as it is meant to be seen.
Extra large/small text size
As I said, there is more to website development than simply graphics -- user convenience is one large part of it too! You should design the text on your site to be legible and reasonably sized to allow your site visitors to read it without straining their eyes. No matter how good the content of your site or your sales copy is, if it's illegible you will not be selling anything!
Popup windows
Popup windows are therefore blatantly used to exhibit advertisements that in my mind, 90% of popup windows are not worth my consideration so I just close them on instinct everytime each one manages to bypass through my popup blocker (yes, I do have one like many users out there!) and, well, pops up on my screen. Imagine if you had a extremely important message to convey and you put it in a popup window that will get closed most of the time it appears on a visitor's computer screen. Your internet site loses its function immediately!
In concluding this article, let me remind you that as a webmaster your duty is to make sure your internet does what it's meant to do effectively. Don't let some minor mistakes prevent your website from functioning optimally!
