Any website designed should be browser independent, any website that is accessible on the IE doesn't mean its the best if it is not able to execute on any other internet web browser. Another common mistake is the Background sound of the website, the website music is not set to automatic but should be manual as majority of the people would not prefer the music to start on the moment the website is loaded.
A bad UI or a confusing website will not attract people.The website should be light, clear and also easy to navigate. Technologies like Flash are great as they make a great presentation and make website attractive, but a completely flash driven website is also not appreciated since it won't be text driven at all so functions like back button wont work and which may need a little more effort in browsing the webpages.
One of the most common mistake is made when the website is completely image based. The images makes the website heavy and it takes long to load as well as at the same time it is not user friendly. Also avoid using the text images, The text should not be posted as an image but should feel like a paragraph or a document which is easy to read. Another mistake designers make is in using Ajax technology, a good web designer should always use Ajax for the content on the website which changes frequently and not for the static content that do not chance quite often.
Another important point to consider is the browser window resizing and pop-up based website. If a particular website loads itself as a pop-up website or a pop-up window, it should be able to resize to the viewer choice and also to the size of the other open windows.
The above mentioned points are just a few points there are more technical and functional aspect to consider for designing a good website and make people revisit your website.

ReplyDeleteGreat article !!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to add few more things to be considered while making websites in Flash/Flex technology :
1. As of now any text written in Flash/Flex based website or section will not be cached in the Google Search engine (might be true for Yahoo or Bing but who cares about them, we love Gooooogle), so a designer need to avoid putting important keywords in Flash/Flex section.
2. No Flash support in iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad :P
Thanks for the information... !! Appreciated!
