Ten Website Design Problems

Ten website design problems:

1. PDF files that aren't labeled
2. Non-scanable text
3. Violating design conventions
4. No responsive design
5. Posts that look like advertising
6. Google searches (when you search a site and it takes you to Google)
7. Low or limited SEO
8. Busy color scheme/strange fonts
9. When the site plays music or a video when opened
10. No search function

Example: Good Website

Harvard Health Books - I helped design this site in my old position at Harvard Health Publications. The white background and minimal color scheme allows the attention to be drawn to the books, which was what we were trying to sell. This site has a search function and uses SEO.

Example: Bad Website

Africa Calling - This site has no search function. The background has a busy color scheme, which is distracting.
