We all make common web design mistakes. You must have read a lot about how to create an interesting website, or a good design or a user friendly design.

Since my first attempt in 1996, I have compiled many top-10 lists of the biggest mistakes in Web design. This article presents the highlights: the very worst mistakes of Web design.

1. Avoid PDF Files for Online Reading

Users hate coming across a PDF file while browsing, because it breaks their flow. Even simple things like printing or saving documents are difficult because standard browser commands don’t work. Layouts are often optimized for a sheet of paper, which rarely matches the size of the user’s browser window. Bye-bye smooth scrolling. Hello tiny fonts.

Worst of all, PDF is an undifferentiated blob of content that’s hard to navigate.

PDF is great for printing and for distributing manuals and other big documents that need to be printed. Reserve it for this purpose and convert any information that needs to be browsed or read on the screen into real web pages.

2. Make the content scannable

this is the Internet, not a book, so forget large blocks of text. Probably I will be visiting your site while I work on other stuff so make sure that I can scan through the entire content. Bullet points, headers, subheaders, lists. Anything that will help the reader filter what he is looking for.

3. Use the Free Font…It Looks Fine to Me
There was a time in my life when (a) all serif fonts looked the same and (b) no font was worth paying for. I have since rescinded on both, and continue to learn more about the complex and beautiful world of typography. Honestly, if there was one subject I wish I could master, it would be typography. You can have a great website with only a little color and great type (and such is the basis for any great design anyways). Again, becoming better at typography requires reading and training your eye by looking at good sites. And please never categorize all fonts under either “fun” or “boring.”

4. Spelling and Grammar Mistakes

Face it, we all make spelling mistakes sometimes when we type. Normally we leave that burden to Microsoft Word Spell Checker.

But, the web editor you use may not be as feature rich as Microsoft Word. It may catch spelling errors but not grammatical ones.

5. Tiny clickable areas

Hyperlinks are designed to be clicked, so to make them usable, it makes sense to ensure that they’re easy to click. Here’s an example of links that are far too small; clicking them is harder than it should be.

6. Where’s the Search box?

The web is like an archive of information. Whether it’s a corporate website or merely a blog, a search box is essential. The visitor might be looking for something that is hidden within the website, with the search box, chances are, visitors will get what they want.

Everything always uses a keyword. Every searching in the web also uses the keyword. There is no need without a keyword, so that why, of course you have to make sure about your keyword that you will use in your business.

You have to make sure about the strength of your keyword in order to be unique keyword. In a Google searching, using keyword is also really important one. Without using and selecting a keyword, you will not be able to search what you want to search.

Knowing that fact here provided some tips you can apply when you select your keyword;

Be positive with yourself. It means that you have to believe that you can. So, when you decide “this” as your keyword, you have to believe that it is right for you because only you that has a good understanding with your business and your need. So, you cannot unbelief to your self. It is the main key when you select a keyword.

Examine your keyword lists. By using Google controller, you can examine how unique your keyword is. The way to examine it is really easy. You only need to write your list of keyword and URL in the Google keyword tool, and then you can select ‘check’ to be clicked.

Examine your keyword’s strength. You also can use a Google to help you in examining your keyword’s strength. It is a simple way. You only need to search about the keyword in the term in your URL; surely Google will offer you a list of keyword. Then, you can appeal that keyword with your keyword. Usually, Google put the most strength in the number 10-15. So, you can know how strength your key word is.

Make sure that your keyword is the most effective. To determine the effectiveness of your keyword, you can use a software namely SpyFu. This software is actually like a market of keyword, so you can know its price. This software also can provide you the list of keywords complete with its price. Of course, it will make you easier to select your keyword.

Think about the lowest ranking of keyword. This is the unique way in selecting the keyword. You cannot avoid thinking about the lowest rank of keyword. It is easy to think that actually the lowest rank of keyword can be in a highest rank. It means, because of there is no person thinking about that lowest rank of keyword, of course it will be unique. And it means, if you use that lowest rank as your keyword, it will be the best rank of your keyword.
