The list of common mistakes in the web development.

This is again a list of common mistakes which most of the web developers do. These mistakes should be avoided carefully.

  1. You may avoid putting title and Meta tags for your web pages. This will cause your page rank go behind and will reduce the incoming visits from search engine. You should consider the statement “Average site receive more than 80 percent of the hits from search engines.”.
  2.  Having many images and other graphics will make the users to navigate to other websites without waiting for loading your site
  3. Avoiding alt tag for images will give some ugly view if user has disabled image. The situation will get even worse if you have some text typed as image for nice formatting.
  4. Having nice splash screen then redirecting to the content page will make the search engine angry with your site and leave your content page not indexed
  5. Changing the domain name frequently will make to loose the earned website rank for years. Site ranks have much to play with its age.
  6. Hosting your web with some cheap hosting provides may cause your site not available frequently or take time to load. Your customer will not wait and check after some time will find some good site to buy or refer.
  7. First impression should be best. Even if your say that your will give gold to your regular visitors no one believe if your site design is bad. It should give some professional look.
  8. You may have not consistence page designs site wise. This may lead the user think bad about your web site. Consistence design make user feel easy to navigate your web.
  9.  You may have separate login system for every single service such as blog forum and other services. Users will feel uncomfortable having several logins for a single websites. Integrate all the services with one login and registration system.
  10. You may have linked to other content types such as adobe portable document format (pdf) or video without specifically mentioning it with the link. User may don’t want to see the type of content at that time. So specifically mention if the link is targeting any content type other than HTML URL.
