Tsuki has another question and refuses to just get LJ

[lord_tenrai]

Tsuki says: I'm trying to design a website for my business.
Tsuki asks: What do you all hate when you're browsing websites?
What do you all really like when browsing websites?

That is all...

... and now for something completely different

I hate bright colored pages with dark colored font. It hurts my eyes (for example, I hate these comment response pages on LJ, because they're bright white with black text - it makes me feel like my head's about to explode!). I think text should be readable, but I'd also like a more subdued background color for ease of eyes.

I hate sites that don't have site maps.

I hate having to scroll (god, i'm lazy!)

I'll agree with Anna on most of the above. Sites that have harsh color contrasts hurt the eyes - even an off-white color for the background can do a lot to preserve the eyes without looking tacky

I side with Eric: Contact information should be prominently displayed and kept up-to-date. And to include as many forms of contact info as ways in which you'd like to be contacted. It boggles my mind when I go somewhere to look for a mailing address only to find a dead email address. O_o I also like a "home" button that's prominent and easy to get to. Nothing bothers me more than getting into a site, and then not being able to get out without tons and tons of back-button hits. And dead links. stubs are fine, but dead links are rude
