To avoid this, or at least minimise this, when setting up a website, make sure that any pictures that you incorporate have been adjusted in a graphics program like Adobe PhotoShop or ImageReady so that they are high quality but low size. Easy to understand layout Cramming too much onto one page can make it difficult for people to follow. Some sites put so much onto a page that it's hard to know what's important or what relates to what. Easy to use navigation One of the challenges for people new to the Net is finding their way around a website. This can be facilitated by navigation, which guides them through the content in a meaningful fashion and also allows them to return easily to major areas within the site.
Navigation is traditionally either at the top or side of a page.
Effective use of colour Websites are fantastic because they allow the designer to incorporate colour at no extra cost - unlike books, flyers and other print publications. What you should be wary of though, is the tendency to use colours that making reading your site difficult. This might be because the colours you have chosen are difficult for colourblind people to read or simply that you have a textured background with text over the top that gets lost. Always check your pages whenever you can. Frequently updated One of the most common complaints with websites is that there are too many which are created and then left as is, ad infitum.
