- Top Ten Mistakes
in Web Design
Jacob Nielson's article from May 1996 is still surprisingly
relevant today, three years later. The article has become a minor Web
classic with about 400,000 page views so far. It is still read 17,000
times per month.
- "Top Ten
Mistakes" Revisited Three Years Later
Jacob Nielson concluded that all ten mistakes from 1996 are still
mistakes in 1999 and nine of the ten mistakes still cause significant
usability problems and should be avoided in modern websites.
- The Top Ten New
Mistakes of Web Design
The "top ten" design mistakes I identified in 1996 are
still bad for Web usability and are still found on many websites. So
in that sense, not much has changed over the last three years.
But unfortunately new Web technology and new applications for the Web
have introduced an entirely new class of mistakes. Here are the ten
worst.
- Rules of Thumb
for Web Design
These are design rules of thumb; you won't see much HTML here, if
any. These are ways to think about your pages, not ways to code them.
- A Web Site
Is A Harsh Mistress
You've got to be aware of the effect of everything you do, not on
how you perceive your pages, but on how your readers may perceive
them. You have to be constantly aware of the cycle of promise,
fulfill, promise. You have to be alert for flaws in your concepts,
your design, your implementation, your understanding of your readers.
