There are heaps of mistakes to keep away from with web design, so here is a list of 10 common errors that you will definitely want to stay away from!

1. Don’t test on multiple systems - Firefox, Interenet Explorer, Chrome and other browsers all render your HTML code slightly differently. It may not sound much, but it might affect the layout of your page drastically, even putting parts of the page in the wrong place.

2. Do not proof read your work - Fail to read your work and you can leave horrible spelling mistakes galore on the new website, which will put off your visitors.

3. Use a lot of colours - Heaps of colours might look clever, but too much of anything is never good and it is easy to get carried away with too many colours. Only keep to as numerous colours as you actually need.

4. Copy content - One of the worst crimes on the internet as far as designing web sites is concerned must be copying content. As a rule I have seen where it has been done as the person copying the content has forgotten to remove several of the original references or including totally irrelevant content.

5. Play several music - Why play music? What does it pull off? If I want to listed to music as I browse the internet I will play some. But, have you got the correct permission to play the music? Are you sure that your traffic are not browsing your website in their workplace or at night when others in the house are asleep?

6. False optimisation through spamming - Some people believe that if you repeat heaps of words in the meta data you will then perform better on the search engines. Stuffing the keywords at the bottom of the page is also equally bad. The technique does not work, in fact it might alert search engines who might then ban you.

7. Build and they will come - Loads of customers believe that by having a web site automatically people will visit it. Several assume that if a web designer builds the website then customers will be falling into the website. Sorry, but this is not correct. You also have to work on building traffic.

8. Hide vital details - Far too numerous web sites make the important information that you want to know. Trying to book hotels we have numerous times given up because something we need to know is not clear. Read through your website and be certain that all information is simple to find.

9. Get too a lot of people involved - Even if we want other people to proof read the website and check the information is to hand, we do not want a huge committee involved in designing the website. By the time everyone has had their say in the process it takes far longer to produce the finished product, plus as everyone has had their input to make a mark on the site, there are a load of little unnecessary add-ons around. Leave it to your designer!

10. Fail to update the web site - An out of date web site is a huge web design problem. Review the site every few months and ensure that details are accurate and nothing needs updating.

Keep an eye on these 10 common web design mistakes that you need to keep away from and your site will be ample better!
