Bad Websites


Whenever you come across a bad website what do you usually do? I mean even if that website contains or offers the stuff that you are looking for you still end up closing it and your look for alternatives. This is a normal case most especially if you are having a hard time navigating.

You would think that over the past 10 years of internet, that websites would be of higher and better quality as compared before. But sadly this is not the case; there are just as many bad websites out there than ever before.

Since we are already discussing stuff about bad websites, I think that it is just fitting that we discuss some tips to help avoid building a bad website.

1. Before you publish a website make sure that you are 100% ready. One of the reasons why some entrepreneurs end up with a bad website is because they failed to plan for it. You should only invest on a website when you are ready to spend time and money in developing your website.

2. Entrusting your website to the pros. You may be one of many entrepreneurs out there who knows basic HTML and basic graphic design, however to avoid a bad website you have got to hire professionals to complete the job for you. It would be great if you can provide your own personal style to the site. An amateurish site is synonymous to a bad website. Your customers might think that you are not serious and you are not credible enough to handle their demands.

A bad website is just one reason why your prospects think twice about doing business with you, so do not give them a reason to leave you. Right now you might feel that you cannot afford the services of a professional website developer or website designer it would be advisable for you to wait until you are able to afford one or wait until you can work out a payment plan.

3. Have a clear objective in mind. A bad website is one which does not have a clear purpose. What is the main purpose if this website you have developed? Your website should support your business goal and should be in lieu with your marketing strategy. Avoid being one of those entrepreneurs, who plunged right into website developments without a clear purpose, hence the result was a bad website.
