Web Designing Errors

1. Bulky forms

I have received set of complaints to the problems linked to forms. What? Forms are too often used in Web and they often appear too big, with set of unnecessary questions and variants. By large for Web applications something is required to us larger, than an old metaphor of the application. Well for now users should face forms therefore make so that this meeting has passed as it is possible without serious consequences. Here five main rules about it:

* Delete all superfluous questions. For example, so you need to know, properly to access to the user: Mr., Mrs. or Ms.?

* Make mandatory only that field which is precisely necessary to you.

* Support auto filling function in a browser. For this purpose select for fields from a html-code usual names (simply name, address, etc.)

* Install the cursor automatically on the first floor of the form. So one click by a mouse is saved.

* Flexibly support a format of telephone numbers, numbers of credit cards and so forth After all very simply to program the computer that he deleted superfluous brackets and blanks in numbers. It is especially important in cases with older persons when sites demand from them the data in an unusual format for them. What for to lose the order only what the buyer prefers to group beautifully digits on four in number of the credit card, instead of to enter their continuous stream from 14 digits?

The forms breaking rules of internationalization, called set of censures in foreign users. If on your site input of the Canadian postal index leads to an error, don’t be surprised that for you not too it is a lot of clients from Canada.

2. Absence of the contact information or the other information about the company

In spite of the fact that now as the contact information ask a phone number and an e-mail address more often, presence of the usual mail address on a site can appear much more important, than a phone number and email as it is one of tags on which visitors form a degree of belief to you. Who from you is ready to entrust the money of the company which hides the address where it is?

How it is better to submit contact information, esteem article «About us» – how to represent the information on the organization on a site and article “Helping Users Find Physical Locations”

3. Mockups of pages with the fixed width

Here complaints are shared on two categories:

* On the big screen monitors with web sites it was inconvenient to work, as they are not become wider at a wide window. And on the contrary, if user there was a small screen monitor, and the page was not “rubber” on width, there was an intolerable bar of horizontal scrolling.

* the Right part of the fixed page appeared cut off. It especially irritated Europeans who use narrower format of a paper (А4), than that is used in the USA

These days the online technologies have become very popular. The Internet network is not only a place to entertain but also a space to earn money. In spite of the reason, to be presented in the Internet one needs a site. And this is when the question how to make a website arises. Those who are searching for info on how to build a website, are advised to refer to the Web itself. It is full of guides on how to make a website and respective topics.

In any way, it wouldn’t be wise not to take advantage of this opportunity provided to us by modern technologies. Google and other search engines, social networks and forums, blogs – all of them could help to find info on “make a flash website” and similar topics.
