with the help of the navigation 
menu and breadcrumb.
• Hidden navigation menus 
affect the users to get 
confused. 
02 Non-Responsive 
Design

user experience & delivers 
a poor web page layout, 
resulting in difficulty 
accessing a website.

mobile devices than PCs to 
access the web.

Speed

remain for long on a site 
that is slow to load.
• To ensure that your site 
loads quickly & offers a 
great UX.
04 Using Generic 
Images
• Free stock photos do not provide 
clarity to the users and create a 
weak impression. 
• Instead, you should use original 
photos which convey some story.
05 Not Having a Favicon
• While browsing with 
various tabs, users 
cannot identify your site 
quickly.
• A favicon helps users 
find what they need & 
return to their desired 
tab. It also helps in 
branding.
06 Using 
Carousels
• Carousels have issues 
like low visibility, slow 
loading, etc. They 
distract users' attention 
from one thing.
• Avoid carousels and focus 
on presenting the 
important message on 
the homepage.
07 Autoplaying 
Videos
• It frustrating when visiting a 
website where videos start from 
anywhere. Also, videos affect the 
loading speed of the site.
• To provide a better UX, shouldn’t 
autoplay videos.

Fonts

fonts, handwritten 
scripts, or symbols.

with cognitive fluency, 
which means they would 
find it challenging to 
understand the 
information. 
09 Use Multiple Fonts
• Using more fonts 
creates confusion. User 
is distracted while 
accessing the 
information. 
• Never use different fonts 
and styles on your 
website. Only use 2 to 3 
fonts on the website.
10 Not Having 
Whitespace
• Whitespace is the space between 
the text, images, graphics, and 
other blocks on a website.
• Whitespace helps to attract users, 
increases readability & 
comprehension, improves 
navigation, etc.
1 Not Focusing on 404 
1 Pages
• Your purpose of a 404 
page should be to 
convert a user’s 
negative encounter into 
a positive one. 
• To achieve this, create a 
custom 404 page, and 
add some humor, 
contact info, & 
navigation links.

that urges users to take 
a specific action. They 
convert first-time 
visitors into prospects.

many CTAs, users might 
get irritated.

• If too many ads are placed 
above the fold, users might 
leave your website.
• Moreover, Google penalizes 
a website with too many ads. 
Hence, you should place only 
one banner above the fold.
1 Disruptive Pop-ups

• Users can’t view the 
main content and are 
forced to watch the ad 
or find the button to 
close it.
• It will increase the 
bounce rate of your site.

ads within content rather 
than on the side or the 
bottom.

webpage results in a 
dispersed pattern. The 
pattern includes content, 
ad, content, ad, and so 
on.

buy a product or service,

it quickly, they will leave 
your website, and you will 
lose leads.
