Ten Web Design No-Nos

Flash-  Flash introductions are usually met with a click of the mouse.  While many people think that flash introductions will make their page stand out, quite the opposite is true.  Even if your page loads your fancy introduction quickly, the same may not be true for others with varying computers and high speed access.  Impatient Internet users won’t have time to wait around for the “page loading” bar to disappear before they do.
Text Size- As if reading text on a computer isn’t difficult enough, some web pages contain text that is way too small.  For most, this problem is corrected simply by holding down the ‘control’ button and then pressing the ‘+/=’ button to enlarge the text.  But, why should you have to go to these lengths?  Small text can turn off an Internet user who doesn’t want to sit there and squint or figure out how to make the text bigger.
