Ways To Lose Customers with Bad Website Design

Linda Lee, askmepc-webdesign.com

  1. Flash elements and flash "splash" pages that take too long to long to load.
    Some people have their browsers set to block everything that potentially
    may contain dangerous scripts, and that may include flash elements on your site.
     
      Here is a sample of what a flash website will display like when browsers are 
      blocking your flash.
      Site with blocked flash
      Site as it looks with flash displayed.

  2. Walking, talking images of a person that start talking as soon as a visitor opens the web page, like this.
    Most people do not like this. Do you?

  3. Sound. Most user do not like automatically generated music or sounds on a website.
    People find this annoying and distracting.
    Have a player control, so they can turn it on or off if they are interested.
    See a great example of a very bad website here.

  4. Pop up ads. Most people use pop up blocker now, so why upset your user?
    I am not even going to show an example of this. We all know what this looks like!

  5. Huge images that take forever to load.

    Fact: The average time a user will wait for a page to load before leaving is 4 seconds.

Don't lose your customers over bad design or things on your site that don't help
present your message. Keep it simple, clean and easy to use.
