Web Design Clichés

by Bob Stone on May.06, 2009, under Web Design

The web is no longer the exciting new technology that it once was. Over time, as the medium has matured, people have come to expect certain things from the websites they visit. A certain level of quality is required, or people will just click away from your site without a second thought. In addition, some web design elements have been so overused that people are just plain sick of them. The best India web designing company is very careful not to use any of these elements.

For instance, one of the overplayed and archaic elements is the page counter. For the most part, no one other than the site’s designer actually cares how many people have visited the site. It is certainly useful data, but putting in your front page can make your site look amateurish. There’s easy way to fix this problem, fortunately – just use a hidden counter, or for more serious projects, use some sort of analytics website or software package.

Perhaps the most hackneyed and tired element of web design out there is the animated .GIF. In the earlier days of web design, they were a popular way to add some movement and flash to a site. Even then, however, many people saw them as a major turn off. If you want to add some motion to your website, there are far better ways to do it, today. The best way is to use Flash or a similar program, which allows you to create custom animations and even web games. Live in the present, and stay away from the web design clichés of the past!
