The mistakes Web Designers often make

(1) Using Frames
To duplicate a page in frames is very muddling for users since the frames split the basic user model of the Web page. As a consequence you cannot bookmark the current page, even the URLs stop working. Worse still is the foreseeability of the user actions is forced to leave the door leaving a doubt what information will appear where when you click a link?

(2) Superfluous embedment of Bleeding-Edge Technology
Do not try to attract users on your site by the boastful use of the latest technology. You can attract some nerds, but the traditional users will be more concerned about the useful content and your capacity to offer good services. To employ latest and largest technology before it is even out of its beta version is a certain way to discourage the users to surf your site. If the users’ personal computers do not support the high-tech embedment, I bet many of them will not come back to your site. So, it is always better to wait until a certain experiment is carried out with regard to the suitable manners to employ new techniques.

(3) Scrolling Text, Marquees, and frequently Running Animations
The mobile images have a controlling effect on the human peripheral vision. Give your user some peace and visionary scope to actually read the text

(4) Intricate URLs
It has been noted that users actually try to decode the URLs of pages to surmise the structure of web sites because they often fail to follow the complex structure of navigation. Thus, a URL should contain human-readable directory and file names of the information space.

(5) Deprived Pages
Ensure that all the pages include a clear indication to which Web site they belong since the users may want to reach pages directly without entering the Home Page. For the same reason, each page should have a link to your Home Page as well as a certain indication from where they enter the structure of your space of information.

(6) Long Pages
Only 10% of users bother to scroll the long pages. With a finicky user interface the critical content and navigation options should be on the top part of the page.

(7) Taking Navigation Support for granted
Do not suppose that the users know as much about your site like made you. They always have the difficulty of finding information, thus they need support in the form of strong direction of structure. Begin your design with a good comprehension of the structure of the space of information and let this structure explicitly communicate with the user. Provide a sitemap and let your users know where they are and where they can go. If you own a large site, sitemap also provide a space for good search feature.

(8) Non-Standard Link Colors
Be consistent while interpreting the colors of text-links. Do not create a chaos with these colors since the ability to understand what links have been followed is one of the few navigational aides.

(9) Outdated Information

Fresh content! Fresh Content! Fresh Content

10. Overly Long Download Times
It is the matter of only 10 seconds. This is the maximum response time after which a user loses interest in the website.
