Practicality can be understandably boring. However, an unusable website is about as much good as a car with no engine. See if you&#8217;re making any of these common website mistakes, then go fix them!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Unscannable Content<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The average person comes online to find what they want, and find it quickly. If your content isn&#8217;t easily scannable, it will lose you readers and fast.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fix: Use headings, bullet lists, and numbered lists whenever possible. You should also use images to break up the monotony of a long read.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">No Search Box<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is especially important if you have a large website with lots of content. The internet is a big place, and people have come to depend on search engines to find what they need.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fix: Add a search box to the top right corner of your website, since that&#8217;s where people are used to finding the search option.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Not Using Analytics<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Analytics is the tool that keeps your finger on the pulse of your website. If you don&#8217;t know what people are doing on your site, then you can&#8217;t truly know how it is performing, or what is working for your company.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fix: Stop putting it off. Go to Google Webmaster Tools and install Google Analytics on your website for free. If you need help, visit Google Analytics <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/analytics\/learn\/setupchecklist.html\">Getting Started page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Cluttered Pages<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cluttered websites are universally unappealing. When faced with sidebars stuffed with ads, an abundance of images, and unorganized text, most people will simply leave the website.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fix: Simplify the layout of your website by getting rid of what you don&#8217;t really need. Be sure you&#8217;re utilizing the space above the fold with your header, sign up form, and the welcome text of your page.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">No Clear Direction<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Every page of your website should work toward a common goal. Is the purpose of your website to promote your product? To showcase your talents? To raise money for an organization?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fix: Establish the aim of your website, and make sure all of your content is in alignment with that aim.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Poor Readability<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Text that is too large, too small, or made up of difficult-to-read fonts and glaring colors can easily put off your visitors.<\/p>\n<p>The fix: For the body of your text, use 12-point font, and colors that contrast with the background. Also, stick with fonts you can read easily yourself. It helps to have a second pair of eyes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/12-simple-mistakes-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/12-simple-mistakes-2.png\" alt=\"12-simple-mistakes-2\" width=\"610\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Hard to Navigate<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Your navigation is the window to the rest of your website. If it&#8217;s difficult to find, ambiguous, or gives no cues to the user, then they could easily get frustrated.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fix: Put your navigation bar in a visible place on your website. Use simple, easily recognizable words like 'About,'\u009d 'Services,'\u009d and 'Contact.'\u009d The navigation should also give the user cues as to which page they&#8217;re on, such as the color of the current page turning color.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/12-simple-mistakes-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/12-simple-mistakes-3.png\" alt=\"12-simple-mistakes-3\" width=\"610\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/12-simple-mistakes-3.png 610w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/12-simple-mistakes-3-300x115.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Bad Screen Resolution<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Your users shouldn&#8217;t have to scroll horizontally to see the full contents of your website. That was okay back in 1996, but not anymore.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fix: You can fix this problem by using relative width to make the page fit any screen. Use the &lt;body&gt; tag in your HTML to set relative width, or use the body{width:100%;}tag in the style sheet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Non-Cohesive Pages<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If your layout, color scheme, and overall theme vary from one page to another, it makes your website seem disjointed.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fix: Treat your website like a book. The pages should look like they&#8217;re all somehow related.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Music or Video Loads with Page<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Video that automatically plays on page load can be annoying and even startling. Music that loads with the page is just as bad.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fix: Disable the automatic play feature for all of your site&#8217;s content. Give your visitors a choice as to what they want to watch or listen to.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Browser and Device Incompatibility<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is one simple yet important aspect of web design that too often gets overlooked. Just because your website looks flawless in Firefox doesn&#8217;t mean it also looks great in Safari.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fix: Test your website across all browsers and devices. Mobile emulators are good for testing, but use the actual device whenever you can.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">No List<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A huge mistake a lot of website owners make is not having a way to keep in touch with the people who visit their website.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fix: Sign up for an email list service like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/\">Constant Contact<\/a>, then add a simple sign up form to your website. An even more effective approach is to offer an incentive for signing up, such as a free ebook or report.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Every website has something it can improve on. A user friendly website is a great asset to an organization, so be sure that yours is as mistake-free as possible.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One great way to avoid many of the mistakes listed above is by using a user-friendly CMS like WordPress to manage your website. With HostGator&#8217;s web hosting, you can install WordPress with a single click of your mouse. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/shared\">Click here to learn more!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When creating a website, it&#8217;s quite easy to get swept up in the trap of putting creativity before the end&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":124,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-web-and-hosting-tips"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.2 (Yoast SEO v23.2) -
