Placing Distracting Elements Like Animation or Flashing Items Near Important Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Distracting elements can draw your viewer\u2019s eye away from your content and make it impossible for them to take away your intended information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Using Little Text Boxes With Scroll Bars To Deliver Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This one is self explanatory if you have ever visited a site that crams all of its content into tiny boxes. After a few seconds of scrolling at most, many visitors will move on in search of an easier-to-read choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Choosing Overly Busy Or Colorful Backgrounds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A background that makes it difficult or impossible to read your content will not only drive visitors away but will also give them a headache.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Using Very Long Introductions or Animations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This goes back to the short attention span issue. If your intro is longer than a few seconds, many of your visitors will lose interest and move on to another site that delivers content more quickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Taking Minimalism To The Extreme<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A minimalist approach can create a professional, polished look but if it is taken too far your website will appear boring and amateurish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Using Mismatched Graphics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Choose graphics that follow a theme. Using graphics that span time periods, color schemes, or styles detracts from your content and your site\u2019s credibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Including Too Few Graphics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Very long units of text unbroken by graphics can be as unappealing as too many graphics. A quality website has a nice balance of text, graphics, and other utilities to keep viewers interested and involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.
