There are a lot of moving parts in a website, many you may not even know about. Even 1 of these mistakes can cost you a sale, or convince a gallery to not contact you.
- Confusing terminology
- Complex, fancy fonts
- Stacking big images (desktop view)
- Poor accessibility
- Contact page buried
- No name on homepage
- Not checking mobile view
- Pages with no image
- Clutter (esp contact page)
- No email list
- Broken links
- Out of date content
- Giant walls of text
- Feedback that’s too late
- Building site and pages without any planning.
Be very detail oriented, and know that building a website can be tedious and time consuming. Feedback is important so you aren’t wasting your time on what doesn’t matter, and to ensure that you get rid of these mistakes.
The biggest problem that most websites have is clutter and redundant information. Keep your website as clean and as simple as possible, and anything that can be removed, remove.
Removing even 1 word matters. Contact is better than Contact me.
