Ingredients of a Bad Website

Surely while surfing the internet you come across websites that make you sick. Here we present the first installment of “Ingredients of a Bad Website.”

1. Excessive ads- This nonprofit can’t get hosting without the unprofessional ads? I would even volunteer to host them for free.
2. Missing images- What is supposed to be in this box? A logo?
3. Boring and repetitive text- Two blocks of text without any images scare away visitors. I actually read the text and saw that each paragraph essentially said the same thing

Honorable mention: The site is translated into Spanish underneath the English part. Would anyone know to look down there? Probably  not.

Give your organization a professional face on the web. Hire an expert who has experience with user interface design, and knows how to draw visitors to a site.
