Bad Website Design

There are alot of common mistakes that people make when they design a website. Below are a few of those;

1 - When there is not enough contrast between the text and the background which makes it harder to read.

2 - If the text is to big, small or stretched across the page it doesnt help to make page look good. Also if paragraphs are all bold, italic or underlined it starts to look stupid.

 3 - Too many graphics or overly large and pointless graphics make the page look cluttered and will make people leave the page.

4 Too many animations or animations that blink or flash, same with adverts. Its really annoying.

5 - If theres no navigation bar or unclear links to other pages. Also if theres orphan or dead links. Shows bad design and that theres been little updating of the site.

6 - Finally lack of consistency.

Good Website Design

These sites can be considered to have a good website design. What makes them good designs is that;

1 - The background doesn't get in the way of the text on the page meaning its easier to read.

2 - Navigating the page is easy to read because the navigation bars and buttons are easy to use.

3 - They will have a site map to help with navigating the site.

4 - Images aren't to big, which doesn't clutter up the page.

5 - The other pages look like they belong to the site by using a consistent design and layout.

6 - There is not to many adverts cluttering up the pages.
