Web Development Don’ts

The title says it all. There are things you shouldn’t do, or even unacceptable to do, with your site and how you develop it. You need to remember that the goal of web development is to satisfy users. With this basic principle in mind, we are going to take a look at some of the biggest mistakes in web developing.

Have you ever come across a site that is too complicated to use? The first big don’t when it comes to web development is stuffing features and elements all in one page without thinking about usability. Users need to be able to navigate and use your site features comfortably, so creating heavy Flash-based user interface with tons of features in it may not be the best way to go. Keep the site simple yet highly useful; the site will be much more valuable to users this way.

Another big web development don’t is the lack of planning. A web, or information in general, must be structured properly; the only way you can achieve that is by having a good set of plan before even coding the site. Organize information and features accordingly, and make sure they are placed properly on your navigation bar.
