Bad Web Design<br />

Here are some features that can really mar the over all concept <strong>of</strong><br />

your <strong>web</strong> <strong>design</strong>. It is important to take notice <strong>of</strong> the most common<br />

mistakes <strong>web</strong> <strong>design</strong>ers commit. You might be able to use some<br />

insights into creating an effective <strong>web</strong> <strong>design</strong> which might be<br />

simple but can invoke your projected image. Backgrounds that are<br />

gray in color by default presents so many problems most<br />

especially with the pages readability. Avoid color combinations


that can render the characters unreadable. Backgrounds are<br />

mostly effective when it is left simple and does not interfere with<br />

reading. Texts must be readable. Avoid small characters. Keep<br />

the links colored blue as much as possible because common<br />

users are already used with the color.<br />
