Ask
yourself these questions... be honest !
- Hand Held Device Compatibility - Use your cell phone to look
at your site. Is is there - or is it a blank page?
- Menus - Can you navigate
through your site with a mobile device?
- Click Click Click - Do all your links work?
- Where am I ? Do you have a lot of pages opening into new windows that leave the
visitor with dozens of windows to close for no reason.
- Fonts - Is your font type easy to read for all ages?
Small type or low
contrast colors will make it very hard to focus and read comfortably. Other eyesores are any text in italics, it appears blurred on the
monitor. Don't underline text unless it's a link.
- Home page - Answer the question, "What Is this Place?"
This is, and always will be, the number-one job of any home page. If
you ignore this goal, you'll leave new visitors in the dark. The first thing a new visitor does when they get to an unfamiliar
site is ask that question.
If the site does not do a good job of
answering it within a few seconds, the user will feel dumb, leave, and
never come back. After all, what would you do if you met someone and
they made you feel like an idiot?
Would you want to hang out with them
again?
- Don't Get in the Repeat Visitor's Way
- All that said, the second goal is to get out of the way of the users
who already know what they're doing. These are the users like you, the
ones who have been here before and already get it.
