Subject: UKNM: Worst website sins


I'm writing a feature on "The Worst Website Sins" for Internet Money (a new

title aimed at small businesses).


The sins currently include:


* Poor site navigation systems

* Pages too slow to download / graphics too big

* Too much use of Flash / predictable animations (e.g. boring corporate

logos that twirl into the middle of the screen)

* Broken links

* Design faults - poor use of colours, etc.

* Getting your techie guy to throw together a site using Front Page / site

out of line with corporate image

* Contact details hard to find

* Superfluous / useless content

* Site never updated


Opinions and examples wanted, please... :)


Jo.
