5. Hiding your content behind fancy
graphics.
Pictures and graphics are a great way to make a site look interesting, but
if you do have textual content, make sure it is easy to read, spell
checked, understandable and current. If we developed and maintain your
site, you are set to go!
6. Having a slow site.
Pages should take no more than 20 seconds to appear fully. Any more than
that and the boredom factor starts to set in. Part of the WSV site
development is ensuring optimized file sizes and speedy downloads.
7. Not having a picture of yourself on your website.
In the day of virtual communication, it is often nice to see whom you are
dealing with. It does not have to be a grand scale portrait, just a
tasteful shot so people can actually see you, and start to build some
trust. Candid shots are great too - check out our
Photography services!
8. Rely too heavily on techno wizardry.
Some people are still looking at websites on basic computers and some
people don't like to spend time waiting for things to appear. This means
that if your site needs the best equipment to run and a long time to wait,
you may be missing out on potential customers. Fully 'Flashed' sites are
neat, but turn a lot of visitors off.
9. Having crowded pages.
It takes approximately 20% longer to read something on a computer screen
than it does on paper. Make sure your pages are not cluttered so people
can read things comfortably, and do not jam pack the page so viewers have
to search around to know what to look at first. It's all about good
design, something that we pride ourselves on!
10. Having broken links!
This means that you have a link to another page, but it is not there and
comes up with an error message. This can defeat all the work you have put
into having a great site, as it can look unprofessional. If your site is
maintained by WSV, we check for problem links on a regular basis.
