Things to be avoided while developing a website

No Special software

Most of the content in your website should be in HTML format. Some important and sensitive content could be in pdf format which people could not alter if they intend to reproduce it. But you should never use a format which is not very popular and which requires users to download special software to view it. People won’t be interested in this software just to view some information on your website they would rather prefer to skip this information. This may contribute to making your website not very user friendly.

No extra window openings

There is an option which could be utilized to open links in a different window then which is currently being used by the internet user to view your website. In case you opt for opening links in new windows it will make the screen of the user very cluttered and he may lose interest in further browsing through your website. This should may be using very selectively.

No frequent changing of fonts

The font style and pattern throughout your website should be very similar. The heading and body text should follow the same pattern in all the web pages. In case you frequently change this pattern it will make difficult for the reader to adjust every time he opens up a new page in your website.
