Poor Navigation and design is Very bad as Visitors left page on landing . A good web Design and navigation with proper Content over web pages helps to turn visitor in customers .

Really great and appreciative post. I think most of the web designers defeat in the poor navigation of the site which dosenot liked by the visitor.

 

Why would somebody leave a page in the first seconds when they open a page?
- Bad design.
- Poor navigation.
- None relevant titles when they scan the text, they don't see things they are looking for.
- Slow pages.
- A lot of ads.

Skip all the things above and you will do well

 

Poor navigation is one of the most common mistakes of web design and it causes of high bounce rate. When the navigation causes the customer and if they did not find any thing. They get easily frustrated and will leave the website.

 

Bad Navigation , Unfrindly screen Resolution are a very common mistake

 

I agree with all those mistake and many of web designer still can't avoid those mistake which for me is a normal thing cause not everyone is making perfect.In fact in my country in Helsinki i been doing a data analyysi or data analysis and sometimes i can't also avoid mistake but then learning for your mistake can be a key to make everything perfect and well done.

 

Never make site to complicated as user is not understand site and all your effort goes worthless. And poor designing is also a big mistake in web designing.

 

These are some common errors mostly seen on a site
1.Bulky content so slow sites
2.More Pictures
3.Bad Structure
4.Stuffing of keywords

 

use html5
css3
jquery
parallax scrolling

 

Before going to contact any web design and development company to design your website ,be aware some of common web design mistakes .By learning about these errors, you can definitely have a good results in web design bangalore development.

Poor Readability & Legibility.
Bad Navigation.
Inconsistent Interface Design
Unfriendly Screen Resolution.
Complicated Registration Forms

 

Here are the top things I hate when visiting a site:
Poor Navigation
Very Bland Design... I like dimension, I like variety.
Too Busy Design... thought it needs to look nice, I don't want to be too distracted from the content.
Inconsistency ... don't change themes and color schemes, keep it consistent throughout.
Unreadable Text ... choose a text color that works with the background.

 

I think web designers fail to test that the site supports different browsers and Internet devices. What might look good on one browser can look really messy and difficult to navigate on another. If it's not usable on a smart phone then the website owner is going to lose out, because searches on devices are now overtaking searches done on desktop computers.

 

Ahh right right, I've seen that happen with the sites I visit. None of them are mobile-supported, so it's a huge pain to go all the way back home for my PC when I want to access it. It's either that or slog through the giant monitor-sized screen on my smartphone...
My one peeve is too much Flash though. Animations might be cool, but hard to sit through if you're scanning for specific content.

 

There are two things guaranteed to make me leave a site. Poor spelling and grammar and text that is too dificult to read. With all the spellcheckers out there now, there is no excuse for the former. it makes the site owner look lazy. As for the latter, I would expect a site owner to notice this when they checked their page previews. Again, it suggests laziness.

 

I would have to agree bad grammar and poor usage of words turn me off. Web design that accommodates an excessive amount of words is also a big no-no. When you see a plethora of words especially in a website's homepage, this word always comes to mind: spam. Professional rather than flashy colors always do the trick.

 

Excessive Ads & Ad Tracking Scripts - Not only are ads intrusive and break up the content of your site, as well as annoy your visitors, they can also slow down your site considerably and be a security risk to your audience. In addition, many of the conversion tracking scripts and analytics scripts related to them will also slow down your site. Platforms such as DoubleClick will generally piggy back all sorts of tracking codes from other ad networks into your page as well. So you may think you just have the DoubleClick tracking code on your site, but it might be loading up like 20-30 other tracking cookies when a user visits a page on your site, and slowing things down. Google has also had as few screw ups in the past couple years where Malware was sneaking through their ad network and infecting computers where their ads were being displayed.

Site Design Isn't Mobile Friendly - This is a big mistake, not only does Google frown upon this, but your bounce rate will only get worse as more and more people are browsing the web from mobile devices. In some cases, sites are seeing more than 40% of their traffic coming from Mobile, it can't be put off anymore.

Franken-sites - This is something I am seeing a lot of too, where complete newbies are creating Wordpress sites and adding a ton of plugins for every little minute thing. While it's nice how extensible and adaptable Wordpress is, it's also easy for amateurs to get carried away with plugins and widgets to the point where the whole site is a slow loading, sluggish, piece-mealed together mess. The margins are a mess, content blocks are accidentally overlapping, inconsistent fonts, five or six instances of JQuery being loaded up accidentally, mulitple instances of Google Analytics, etc... It reminds me of the days of MySpace pages, where people were putting up annoying music on their pages, hundreds of tacky animated GIFs, enormous wallpapers that took forever to load, awful fonts, etc...

Not designing for users who are blocking ads - Lets face it, there are a substantial amount of people out there using plugins such as AdBlock and AdBlock Plus. So much so that large companies such as Google are actually paying off the creators of AdBlock Plus to not block their ads. A visit is better than no visits, regardless of if they are seeing ads or not. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water by blocking or impeding visitors who are using AdBlock. Your site's content blocks should collapse gracefully when the ad blocks are empty.

 

I think bad design and navigation are big turn offs for site visitors. I also agree with bad grammar and spellings. There are some visitors who are very keen to small details such as grammar and spelling errors.

 

Don't make these common website design and development mistakes- Business failures to research and plan for a website and staffing.
