  • Flash is a programming environment and should be used to offer users additional power and features that are unavailable from a static page. Flash should not be used to jazz up a page. If your content is boring, rewrite text to make it more compelling and hire a professional photographer to shoot better photos. Don't make your pages move. It doesn't increase users' attention, it drives them away; most people equate animated content with useless content.

  • Bad fonts won the vote by a landslide
  • small font sizes or frozen font sizes; about one-third complained about low contrast between text and background.
  • • Make obvious what's clickable: for text links, use colored, underlined text (and don't underline non-link text). 
    • Differentiate visited and unvisited links.
  • • Explain what users will find at the other end of the link, and include some of the key information-carrying terms in the anchor text itself to enhance scannability and search engine optimization (SEO). Don't use "click here" or other non-descriptive link text. 
    • Avoid JavaScript or other fancy techniques that break standard interaction techniques for dealing with links. 
    • In particular, don't open pages in new windows (except for PDF files and such). 
  • predictable navigation and static menus.
  • ontent 
     
    • short, 
    • scannable, and 
    • to the point
  • • answer users' questions and 
    • use common language

  • The one bright point is that splash screens and Flash intros are almost extinct. They are so bad that even the most clueless Web designers won't recommend them, even though a few (even more clueless) clients continue to request them.

  I assumed that asking for reader input would highlight many issues that I hadn't noticed in my own user testing. This was not the case. Instead, all of the top thirty problems were covered in existing usability guidelines.
