7 Outdated Web Designs Your Business Website Should Not Have

quality website design

In a world of websites, innovation and quality are the two important pillars of gaining appropriate exposure.

Without a quality website design, your business will suffer in terms of poor profit.

You should never ever go for the following trends as these are facing worldwide criticism.

1. Long Text Paragraphs

While the golden proverb ‘content is king’ is valid up to date, but people have started ditching the websites which are an epitome of Wikipedia’s boring articles.

To explain a concept, people have started going for illustrations and content (content is present but present dynamically)

2. Hype Without Contact Details

There are so many websites on the internet which talk about the greatness of a product but fail to mention their adequate contact details.

In today’s world, they promote negative quality website design and people think of them as scammers.

If you are creating hype, be sure to validate your contact details.

3. Lack of Social Media Linkage

We want you to have persistence in terms of social media marketing. To make newer contacts, you need to create excitement on your website, laying emphasis on random visitors to follow your accounts on social media.

What people do is the opposite. They make up a boring website, with no mention of social media. If no-one is keeping newer people in the loop of your product information and company’s updates, how do you expect your company to grow?

4. Auto-Playing Background Videos

You will literally receive curses from people who opt for a limited bandwidth internet package. Not everyone can afford to watch ultra HD videos and that too, when someone opens up your website and views a video playing itself, a person’s data is lost as well as he gets frustrated from your website.

Also, not everyone has a low volume on his computer or smartphones. You might scare a person for a good time before he/she ever comes to your website. Why take such an absurd risk?

5. Not Using Trends

Quality website designs use trends. Look all around you! See what is common. You can use memes, helpful information and general jokes to make people laugh.

The trick here is to make people comfortable on your website. If they get comfortable, they will start spending more time. This is what Facebook and Instagram are doing. Even if people are doing nothing, they would just be online, resulting in revenue of those websites.

When trends change, you can update your website to your quality website design.

6. Image Problems

If people are using images, they are either not of high quality or they use too much graphics.

Although graphics are important but implying too much or using poor quality negates their importance.

You have to believe in ‘content is king’. Have some content with illustrations and multimedia videos. You can also introduce custom animations but remember: Not to overdo anything.

7. Pop-Ups

One sentence to summarize pop-ups:

People hate them and they hate them even more if they have poor designs.

Also, Google hates them too and your website may be placed in low SEO rankings.

A good approach is to only use them once or twice as the more you use pop-ups, the more it gets annoying for a user. But it is still better if you don’t use them at all.
