Fatal mistakes in web design

The internet is full of sites of various niches – personal, business, company, entertainment, information, medical and many more. You may have often wondered as to why only some of the websites amongst the many thousands of websites in the internet space thrive, while others struggle to stay afloat.

Some of the common reasons are mentioned as under:
a) Type of Fonts and their size
People commit a common mistake of maintaining one font size for a long time without realizing that not everybody in the world possesses equal eye sight. It is necessary to keep changing the font size such that your site is legible and easy to read.
b) Lengthy Paragraphs
Human nature is such that people do not wish to read long paragraphs at one go. It is thus necessary to split content into smaller paragraphs with proper headings and sub headings so that people are encouraged to read the content on the site and they can get the information they are seeking without problems.
c) Less General Topics
It is also necessary to crowd the site with less general topics and not make people to scroll through a lot of content and many pages to find what they want. Using easy to navigate menus will help people much better.
The above three tips should help you in designing a better web site.
