Yes (yes, yes\u2026), you\u2019ve been told countless times about how important it is to have a fast-loading and responsive website. In fact, when talking about website designing mistakes, the talk always starts \u2013 and ends \u2013 with speed and device-compatibility.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, they are very important, both for SEO and UX. But they are also equally clich\u00e9d.
\nThe sphere of website designing and development is much more than just these. So to stay at the top of your game, it is imperative that you explore this subject more closely, care about the \u2018other\u2019 details and make amendments in your own case.<\/p>\n

To help you have a right start, here are 5 website designing mistakes (other than the clich\u00e9s) that are silently killing your business: <\/i><\/p>\n

Making it image-centric<\/h3>\n

Unless it\u2019s about photography or something that\u2019s heavily reliant on visuals, having an image-centric website is not necessarily the best decision. And there are plenty of reasons behind that.
\nFirst, using high quality images usually slows down the website. Two, texts in images can\u2019t be crawled; so it hurts your SEO. Third, pictures are meant to add value to your message. If you\u2019re irrelevantly using generic stock photo, you\u2019re basically taking away their clarity and meaning, which might put off many website visitors.<\/p>\n

So unless it\u2019s necessary and your business demands it, use images but not obsessively. Limit their use and stick to texts.<\/p>\n

TIP: Whitespaces aren\u2019t bad!<\/p>\n

Generic 404 Error Page<\/h3>\n

The easiest way to lose your website visitors is to display them a generic 404 Error page. When lost, they must be guided back to the right and relevant destination because they might not navigate back to a page where you want them to on their own.<\/p>\n

In fact, in a survey of nearly 3,500 users, it was found that majority of them don\u2019t even try to take a positive action to resolve the error. They simply exit the website.<\/p>\n

So your website must have a personalized 404 error page that\u2019s engaging enough to keep the visitors glued and engaged, and help then continue back to their original work without jinxing their experience.<\/p>\n

Inconsistent and unreadable content<\/h3>\n

Website designing isn\u2019t just about eye-candy images and colors. It\u2019s just as much about text contents that must spilled around in right quantity and consistency to improve Users\u2019 Experience.
\nSo your website must have well-jeweled contents, in sufficient amount, throughout. Importantly, it must be readable with right fonts size, style and line-height.<\/p>\n

Also, these contents mustn\u2019t be hidden that weighs visitors to go on a content-hunting. Why? According to a research, 52 percent of visitors want to see \u201cabout us\u201d information and 64 percent want to see \u201ccontact\u201d information, once on company\u2019s homepage.<\/p>\n

If you have your contents veiled deep down, guess what these users will do? They will leave.<\/p>\n

Complicated navigation<\/h3>\n

The worst thing that you can do to your website visitors is to make them wonder \u201cwhere am I?\u201d
\nEveryone wants to know where they are and how they can jump to someplace else that\u2019s more relevant. As a designer and webmaster, it\u2019s your duty to make navigation for the visitors quick and easy. It\u2019s an important component of good UX.<\/p>\n

So your website must have clear (and sufficient) menus, breadcrumb navigation and decent design cues to help the visitors know where they are and how they can get to some other place on the website.<\/p>\n

Not minified HTML, CSS and JavaScript<\/h3>\n

Many people, including the designers, undermine the relevance of minimizing website codes. Having a simplified and clean version of HTML, CSS and JavaScript not only improves a website\u2019s speed and overall performance but also directly impacts its SEO.<\/p>\n

The codes of your website must be compact and stripped of all the unnecessary lines. Of course, you can go with DIY tools to do this. But things could get quite troubling if yours isn\u2019t a simple website. It is best you hire a good website design company in Kolkata<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You might have the best strategies in action and one of the most qualified internet marketing companies<\/a> by your side working to take your business to new heights on digital sphere. But if you haven\u2019t got your website design correct, it\u2019s all a waste.<\/p>\n

Because like they say, if the first step isn\u2019t correct, the destination will never be right<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
