During the process of webdesigning, the mistakes that the web designers usually make are as follows One of the basic problems that rise is that the search engines are not very efficient.

They are unable to correct typos and usually don't give results when hyphens and plurals of the words are used. These search engines prove to be a menace for everybody as they do not refine the search. A problem also rises when the search shows the result based on how many queries the term contains, rather than the value of the article. These cause a problem for a lot of users since many of them don't appreciate advanced searching.

Another irritating moment occurs when while browsing,Mistakes of the Webdesigners  Articles a PDF file appears. These always tend to break the browsing tempo of the user because they are very different than regular browsing. The open a new window and often show a layout that doesn't fit the browser, rather is designed for a piece of paper. It might prove to be very efficient for downloading and printing documents, but online, many people find this irritating.

Another of the webdesigners mistakes is that the color of the visited link does not change. A lot of people find it very useful while searching that the color of the link has changed. This helps them save time in their research as going through the same link twice would prove to be pointless.

A common mistake is that the font size is small, and usually proves very difficult to read for the elder people. Webdesigners usually disable the ability to re size the font; many users appreciate if the font size is left for the users to decide.

Another factor that a webpage is not liked is that when it looks like an advertisement. Many users tend to ignore this selective attention as this usually drives the user off the search. This may also prove to be the reason that many users overlook the text, whether it actually contained value able information or not. A good way to avoid this is not to use text that looks like a banner, as this may look like an ad and people don't like that. Animations can be avoided, although these do not need to be completely condemned. Do not use the pop-up windows as some

Another factor to be considered as a mistake of the webdesigners is the violation of design conventions. Among the usability principles, consistency is considered to be among the most important tools, because it helps the users to maintain a pattern in the things around and they don't have to worry about any wayward experience. When the expectations on the people are fulfilled, the feel more in control and relieve more satisfaction. And if they fail to achieve their expectations, their satisfaction will be compromised as well.

Another mistake made by the webdesigners in their failure to answer the questions of the users. Users have high end goals and if they feel that there is something lacking in a product, they will simply jump it and go look for another one.

Hence, if these mistakes are kept to a minimum, the webdesigners will be able to design a relatively successful website.
