A lot websites are easy to use but the challenge is to make a happy to use website. This term might be new to you but every Webmaster should master the art of making a “Happy to use” website. This is about studying not just what people like in your website but also what people dislike in it. What makes them feel good or bad while browsing through your designed stuff is core part of feedback for your website.
What annoys a Web User?
When you face things suddenly, you call it a surprise. But even surprise has two definitions, one is pleasant another unpleasant. Pop Ups every second are embodiment of Unpleasant surprises. Usual boxes popping up and covering the whole monitor is an irritating thing for one and all. This doesn’t solve any positive purpose but yes for sure teaches web users to close windows quicker than ever.
Asking for useless signing of Newsletters is again a stupid way of marketing. Your potential customers will tap you anyways. The ones who sign up for such newsletters are the ones who mark them spam also at the first go.
Making people wait for the content that they are actually looking for does no good, rather makes them run away to other similar websites. Biggest example of this is the You tube advertisements which take away initial 10-25 seconds of a person before the actual desired video. Avoid this.
Scrolling text is like the moving news strips on Television. Before using this for your website, you need to know how user friendly would it be for the kind of content that you are putting up. At some places Marquee text is helpful and at few others it can even act opposite.
Keeping content locked or asking for a long registration process makes your user go away in longer run. People just start finding alternate website for fetching similar content to avoid such hassles.
Last but not the least, integration of your website with Social Media. A smart webmaster needs to choose the top most used Social Networking websites and just integrate them with your website, don’t just go on adding all of them. This takes a lot of space on your website and makes it look cluttered.
These factors are very basic but get ignored maximum number if times by the web designers. Following these, you can leave smiles on the faces of people hitting a click on your webpages.
