Dodge these design habits/stupid ideas.
So at the moment our websites are really bad. I mean really bad. But compared to these we honestly look like web design veterans that created the internet.
STOP USING IMAGES FOR SIDE BAR BUTTONS
WHY. Like seriously WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS. It looks awful. I have seen next to NONE that use images to an advantage with the side bar buttons.Color scheme, or ya know, just don't have one. That works to.
Just make a color scheme. Like don't have every color as a color scheme because thats not actually a color scheme. Fine I'll just give you one. Blue Orange and white. Go have fun.Sound on websites....
I hope water falls on your keyboard.Make images look nice.
Like ok if your going to add images at LEAST make it seem like they fit.
Other Ideas:
buttons...EVERYWHERE
not aligning anything
having a front page that has a link to the actual front page
white text on yellow background
autoplaying anything
Why do people do this?
Well to put it simple, they are to self centered. The designers of these websites are too scared to look objectively at there work so they cant improve themselves. Another problem is that these people lack simple understanding of design fundamentals such as color schemes and alignment. Sites such as these have been completely abandoned do to the introduction of sites such as wix and other automatic formats available.
