Here are some tips for creating successful sites

How many of you know by now creating a successful website is not easy.

Here's what not to do to create a successful website:

  1. Unrestrained use of frames
    Divide a page in many frames greatly confuses the user since the uncontrolled use of the frames contrast with "the basic fundamentals of the use of Web pages. It often happens that bookmarks do not return to the current page as they can "confuse" the frameset on. And 'know that many times the URL is not working properly and prints are difficult to use. But more: how do you know what kind of information appears on the monitor when this user will click on a link?
  2. Uncontrolled use of technology
    Do not try to attract your audience on the site with special effects technology "last word". Surely it would be much appreciated by brainy "bit-splitting" but the public interest that you win is more interested in content and service information you enter in your site and not just its form. Use beta software and therefore not final graphic details, go to meet the risk that the system can crash while your visitors are looking at the site. This will discourage them to the point of never return to visit and make a bad publicity for your loss.
  3. Scrolling text, flashing and animated
    Do not include graphics that are still around. Images like this distract attention dramatically. A web page must not look like the entrance to an amusement park: a little give to your guests' peace and quiet while preparing to read the text.
  4. URL complicated
    Although it is always good to not show the URL of the page in the browser-level machine code, it was discovered that many users try to decode the URLs of pages to interfere with the structure of the site. Navigators do this because they are encouraged by the low level of support navigation from the current browsers. Make sure that the URL shows the names of guidelines and related files in a clear and legible, and reflect the nature of information. In any case, given names all lowercase and no special characters.
  5. Orphan pages
    Make sure all pages include a clear indication of where the user is within your site, without having to go back to the homepage. For the same reason, every page should have the opportunity, visible, skip directly to the homepage at any time and place.
  6. Pages with a long scroll of text
    And 'estimated that only a minority of users from following the information that is visible only by a long scroll of the page on the monitor. All the key information and important must be made at the beginning and at the top of the page.
  7. Shortage of navigational
    Do not assume that the browser understands everything immediately visit your site. You always have difficulties, first, to achieve the information entered into the site and then you must strive to give a coherent vision and irridondante structure. Started to write a good, clear definition of the structure of information space: generate a site map with "you are here," accessible at any time and from anywhere on the site. A "search site" could complete the work.
  8. Using non-standard colors
    Links to pages not yet visited must be in blue; links to pages already viewed should be red or purple. Do not get confused with these colors as you would be betrayed by the standards of the most common browers.
  9. Watering, pruning and planted
    Try to engage your team in a Web-gardener. You need someone to take care of pruning plants, cutting the lawn and water the flowers because your site will need to be updated of new information (to water) can review expired link (cut) and add new content (planted). Unfortunately many companies do not care about this and visits to their site are steadily declining because you immediately the feeling of being faced with an information dead.
  10. Download pages too long
    And 'scientific data, and establishes that a human being has a maximum response time of 10 seconds before starting to lose interest in an external event. On the Web, users have moved up the threshold value (15 seconds) saddened by the poor (for now) response technology that runs on the Net This means that the communication of the message is crucial and involves the use cognitive burden Match communicational language.
