Swinging Over Website Pitfalls

No one wants to invest their valuable time into a website that fails to pull in visitors or make a difference for a small business. Nor should they have to if they avoid some typical mistakes a site publisher may make at the onset.

The Future Buzz blog listed several no-nos a capable small business avoids when building a website:

Huge, unbroken paragraphs of text on the main site pages
Too many links/sections
No clear function
No call to action
Too much Flash
Pages which are half-done or not thought out

If you have visited websites that did not appeal to you, chances are the site did something on this list. Clarity of purpose and brevity of effective text will work wonders when developing what people will see when they visit the small business domain online.
