While undertaking website building,
some mistakes are made due to which visitors leave the site and go to other
sites. Visitors need to find the right kind of information they are looking
for. Lots of time is wasted by visitors if navigation is difficult due to which
there is frustration leading to loss of money, visitors and productivity.
The ecommerce website design should be
easy to navigate, so that a large number of visitors can get attracted to the
website without having to waste too much time. Navigation that is designed
badly can prove to be harmful to the site. A lot depends on the website design.
The common mistake web designers make is not having relevant and adequate
content on the site. Use the site builder that will appeal to you as a
user.
No Updated Content and Complex Web Design
At times there is outdated content which has
no place in the technological advancement taking place at rapid speed on the
internet. If there is no updated content, it is an indication that the website
owner hardly cares for its visitors or those reading the information. Hence you
will need to ensure that only updated content is published on a regular basis
to keep visitors attracted to the website.
One of the commonest mistakes is having a site
with complex web design. The site turns out to be a slow site due to difficult
designs. Visitors do not want to wait if uploading time is too much. They
prefer to visit sites that have web pages that upload in just a few seconds and
have access to relevant content they are looking for.
Using Flash, Pop Ups and Sounds
Some of the sites are based on Flash. This is
also one common mistake in a web design. When Flash is used, indexing is not
properly done by the search engines. Textual content is indexed on the search
engines to ensure search engine ranking. At times the arrangement of the
navigation bar is poor, at times too big or too small which cannot be read or
is positioned wrongly leading to inconvenience to the website visitor. People
generally prefer web applications that allow easy usage and hence you will need
to identify a web design that is not puzzling.
The other common mistake is having pop ups and
auto sound which can be annoying to the visitor. The pop ups, increase the
loading time of web pages, due to which visitors want to move to another site for
browsing. Even sounds and videos increase loading time.
Using Broken Links, Graphics and Videos
Another common mistake is not looking into
issues related to broken links and slower time for loading. Visitors want to
save time too and hence will not keep waiting to get through a link or for a
page to upload. Usage of photos, images or graphic can lead to slower loading
of sites.
The other mistake that is common is usage of
tiny text and errors and typos. There could be other mistakes too which give
the impression that the site is not professional. Usage of fonts has to be
professional which can have a better impact on the visitor. If all the above
mistakes are avoided while creating website online then the chances of
increasing the number of visitors and sales will increase, overall.
