subject: How Corporate Web Design Annoys One? [print this page] If youre working somewhere, then youd probably face hundreds of websites every day. Some would be yours, some of your competitors, and some from here and there. How many of those websites irritate you or really annoy you? Im sure pretty much of them. Why do even firms make such websites? This is the question that arises when you come across such a website. Before creating a website, firms should do some market analysis that what type of web design internet users prefer and get attracted towards.
A corporate web design needs to intact the firms logo design and its mission and values into its design in a professional manner. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to happen quite a lot around in the professional sector. People have witnessed websites that are too clumsy and unorganized; theres no navigation bar in some websites that could direct the viewer to different pages; the content is placed very clumsily on the websites. Faults like these will only irritate viewers rather than appealing them. Theres a whole list of factors that can make a corporate website design annoying; explaining below...
o Background music Unless your services are related to memorial and weddings, dont put background music to agitate your viewers or perhaps potential customers. It also makes the website heavy; takes time to load the page completely. Avoid it as much as you can because ultimately the viewer turns off the music.
o Avoid Flash, please There are websites who have used Flash to make theirs look more attractive and animated perhaps. However, it backfires most of the time. Dont make your customer sit through a commercial that takes the worlds time to load.
o Too many graphics You certainly dont want to lose customers; therefore, avoid using heavy graphics on your web page as it slows down the time it takes to load the website. A few are good but not too many.
o Animated Characters If youre running a website that aims towards kids, then talking characters would sound creative; otherwise, just dont even think of using them and irritating your viewer more than you have already done.
o Pop up Windows Have you ever thought why people have enabled pop-up blockers in their systems? Thats because they hate it. If youd have thought about it then you wouldn't be inserting pop-up windows in your website as well.
o Avoid Front Doors Front doors are those little unnecessary pages in a website that say please wait, loading or click here to enter. Youre making your customers wait too much for just to have a look at the real thing. Just direct them to the stuff that matters immediately rather than wasting their time.
