How to turn people off
Don’t be a twit by littering your website with annoyances.
Here are some of my personal dislikes on websites; feel free to add yours:
- Slow loading pages
- Unwanted sound files
- Frames
- Pop-up boxes
- Too many flashing and blinking things
- Spelling mistakes
- Poor grammar
- Entry pages
- Difficult to read – lack of contrast or busy background
