Biggest Mistakes in Web Design 1995-2015

1. The reading relates to the concept of user-focused design that we have discussed in class. Vincent Flanders focuses on the design flaws  and how these flaws have negative impacts on the user when it comes to websites.He used real examples to help emphasize his point that some websites are deisgned without the user in mind.

2.The point I felt was the most important was that you should be able to look at the home page of any site and figure out what the site is about within four seconds. If you can't, the site is a failure.This is the most important because identifying a website is the first thing that has to happen for a user to continue looking at the site.If a site doesn't give any clues as to what it is or what its about the user will more than likely exit the website and move into a more user-friendly website.

3.Design factors I feel are important  for a webpage are of the following:
Easy to Understand and Use
Clear and Readable
Helps visitors
Simple and consistent navigation
