Bad Web Design Features

I learned that they have...

  • Busy, distracting backgrounds that make the text hard to read
  • Text that is too small to read, text crowding against the left edge, and text that stretches all the way across the page
  • Links in body copy that distract readers and lead them off to remote, useless pages
  • Thumbnail images that are nearly as large as the full-sized images and link to graphics with no alt labels
  • Tables used as design elements, especially with extra large borders
  • Anything that blinks, especially text
  • Too many little pictures of meaningless awards on the first page
  • Complicated frames, too many frames, unnecessary scroll bars in frames and orphan pages
  •  Entry page or home page that does not fit within standard browser window
