  • Consumers generally dislike flash introductions
  • Make sure you’re clued up on the latest Data Protection Act rules and regulations
  • Make sure your site is simple and easy to use
  • Don't promise information then ask the site visitor to phone for more information - they wish to view it immediately
  • Use smaller, low resolution images for quicker loading times
  • Make sure it works! Links etc
  • Ensure consistency in design
  • Know your audience
  • Minimize the use of technical jargon
  • Keep content relevant, easy to find and up to date
  • Say who you are - Home pages should have a brief description of who you are and what you do, not lines of company history and information, this should be featured elsewhere
  • Make sure your spelling and grammar are correct - silly mistakes look bad
  • Pop up adverts are irritating!
  • Navigation is a common issue, make sure yours is easy to follow and effective
