They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there are some things that are universally agreed upon. When designing a website there definitely limitations on what is considered attractive and irritating. As a website designer, there is a certain responsibility that you must accept. Many customers have there own ideas as to what kind of website look that they are seeking. Your job as a professional web designer is to be able to take their ideas and give them sound advice to avoid creating an irritating website. If you are not sure of what is considered irritating, I have compiled a list of my five most irritating aspects that I hate to see in any website. Annoying Pop Ups: Many people say that pop ups have actually increase their sales, but I cant imagine how when everyone I know hates them. Pop ups are especially annoying when you are in a hurry. Loud Flash Presentations: Flash intros are really dramatic and when used correctly can really grab a potential customers attention. My issues with flash presentations stems from the ones that are too loud and do not have an option of eliminating the sound. You should always leave the choice to the customer of whether or not they want to listen to the music. Light Colored Fonts With A Light Background: Using a light text color with a light background is really hard to read. A customer should not have to work their eyes too hard to read your content. Font That Are Too Large: Big fonts are a big turn off in my book. Whenever I land on a website with big fonts, I generally turn the page quickly. It generally makes me feel like I am reading a Sesame Street book. To Much Info On One Page: Good content on a website is encouraged by many as well as the search engines. The problem with having too much content is when it is unorganized. A good way to solve this issue is by using drop down menus with multiple pages. Creating quality web designs takes a lot of consideration. You must take into account what your targeted visitors may or may not like. In the end, the best designed websites are the ones that are moderate and incorporate everyone.
