Value for the User Experience – Top 3 mistakes of Web site design
I remember how websites looked back in 1990? You had your animated gif, your music, brightly colored text … thank the deity of web development that time is over!
Today, Web site design an entirely new field. Just to be able to add a design element that is not reason enough to do so. Most Web content designer designers know best offensive music files that start to play, loading the page, but still make silly mistakes, even serious drivingVisitors to their sites.
The main purpose of website design is to add value to the user. Your website can be encoded technically brilliant, beautiful, and visually appealing break, but if there is any additional benefit for users of such data. Here are the three errors, site designers are the 21st Century to do:
1 replace text with images.
Sure, the images often have a website, a warmer feel more attractive than plain text. But ifFull frames and not worry about profits ALT tag, you must be aware that you are set to remove the following users:
– Read the user to copy and paste into a Word document, then
– Users who surf with images turned off
– Users who read aloud the function to browse through the use of content
Yes, there are those of users, and to make purchases. But not at the sites, the violation of their characteristics and then navigate zeroWorth.
2 creation of designs that take too long to load.
This is to load together on the previous point, to take this picture-heavy sites of the longest. Any image that you add to your website, all the time that users must wait. One of the biggest mistakes designers are still doing in this area, looking for a page to load intro forced to wait before being able to choose the actual content. One page intro? Really? You have a movie or a website?
SecondHand, are the bandwidth-intensive video, but I usually add a high value for the user. A balance of real engaging enough to read the text on each page, while users wait for the beefier components such as video and photos great, but be sure that these items are a real value to the user experience.
3 font with fixed size.
Designers using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which often choose the font size, as the absolute number of pixels indicated, in reality the decommissioning of aBrowser "font change" button. Their motivation? "It confuses the design, if the user changes the font size." How arrogant! If you want to change the font size, you can have a good reason … as not literally be able to read your little script. Many users have begun to use the web in 1990 or before, are now over 40 and are experiencing the beginning of the decline in his eyes. Respect for individual preferences and provide CSS font sizes in relative terms.
If youTo avoid these mistakes and go on creating value for the user, for every element of design, your site is not only interesting and convincing, but also easy to use. Results: Users are again and again
