Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Don't use a dark background on your web site; people who print out something from the site will waste printer ink.
  2. Don't let any page on your site take longer to load than 6 seconds; many consumers do not have fast Internet connections, so gear your design to the AOL user with a 56k modem.
  3. Don't give your phone number only as a word, 888-HOME; always include the actual number to make dialing easier.
  4. Don't forget to put your phone number on your home page, preferably in the header; visitors should not have to search for contact information.
  5. Don't forget to include a site map on your web site that shows every page so that people can keep themselves oriented, especially when returning to find a helpful page they used before.
