Top Ten Web Design Mistakes of 2005
Posted by nullbit on October 3, 2005, 10:49 pm
Jakob Nielsen has published his annual Top Ten Web Design Mistakes List for the year 2005:
- Legibility Problems
- Non-Standard Links
- Flash
- Content That's Not Written for the Web
- Bad Search
- Browser Incompatibility
- Cumbersome Forms
- No Contact Information or Other Company Info
- Frozen Layouts with Fixed Page Widths
- Inadequate Photo Enlargement
As opposed to Nielson's own opinions, this year's list was based around user-observations.

It all sums up to understanding the user
Most of the problems that Nielsen talks about relate to a lack of understanding of what users are expecting. For example, few designers are aware of the differences between males and females when it comes to using the web.

A simple matter that leads to thinking about usability. The work of Jakob Nielsen should be integrated into any web development higher education curriculum.
