Ever wondered what you need to avoid when you build a website? These are just some of them.

• Using too many colors or too bright of colors - this will hurt your user’s eyes, and make your site un-enjoyable to visit. When building a website I would stick to around three main colors.
• Frames - search engines don’t always like frames, and they can also be confusing for people to use as well. This might just be something of a personal taste matter to me, but I wouldn’t recommend using them.
• Putting all of your content on one page - remember to split your content up on separate pages. Users don’t like to scroll forever, and it doesn’t hurt for search engine rankings to have more pages of unique content.
• Search engine cheats - tricks like hidden text, etc…are just plain unethical and shouldn’t be practiced. Once you are found using these techniques, you will be swiped from most search engines…forever!
• Too many graphics - try and keep your page’s loading time to a minimum, and don’t clutter your pages with hundreds of animated graphics. I am not saying you shouldn’t use images in the overall design of your site, but you shouldn’t just throw graphics on your site just because.

I will continue to throw things NOT to do when building a website here…
