Biggest Mistakes in Web Design 1995-2015

1. In class we learned that products should be designed so that it easy for its users to be able to tell the products purpose and how to use it and that products should be simple. This is similar to what Flanders said because he stressed that a webpage should be made with the user in mind ("The only reason my web site exists is to solve my customers' problems."), that when looking at a webpage it should be easy to tell the subject and that it should be easy to read (good contrast, not too many graphics). Also, we talked about having a product so that it is visible how to use it; this is similar to when Flanders talks about being sure not to have mystery meat navigation (a link with nothing telling you where it will take you).

2. The most important points are that a webpage should be designed for the viewers of the page, that the subject be easily distinguishable (within four seconds), that a website is generally made for its users to find out information quickly, the webpage should have interesting information, the webpage should be easy to read (use good fonts, contrast, and not too many distracting graphics), and the webpage is not too long.

3. Important factors of webpage design-
-It is easy to tell what the webpage is for
-It is easy to remember what the address is of the webpage
-uses appropriate themes for the content on the webpage (ex: informational page is not colorful with informal fonts)
