Great Blog Post – 101 ways to annoy your website user

Date Posted - 18 Mar 2008 | Posted By - Steve | Comments 0

I found this blog post today on alpha blog designs outlining the “101 Heinous Website Sins To Really Freakin’ Annoy Your Visitors” and I have got say I could not agree more. Some of my personal favourites are:

  1. Use unnecessary Flash
  2. Have “Site best viewed with…” somewhere in the page. Especially IE6.
  3. Have a huge header, especially of yourself.
  4. Have 40 ‘socialize’ icons at the bottom of each post.
  5. Ignore optimizing images for the Web.

So anyone out there who wants to know how to make a user experience more pleasurable I highly suggest having a read.

    Thanks for the link :)

  • New stuff: Honeywell F124 banner

    Its very early days, but we’ve started working with Honeywell. They’re based here in Basingstoke so our local-ness (pretty sure that’s not even a word!) is helpful when there’s a tight deadline to hit. This was the case with our first project for them, a pretty straightforward roller banner design for a show they were [...]
