Usability nightmares

Never mind what design you have, and never mind which functionality you have to offer. If your visitors don’t understand how they can get from point A to point B they won’t use your site. In almost every professional design you need to offer your visitors a clear, self-explanatory navigation, precise text-presentation, search functionality and visible and thought-out site structure.

This means that you simply have to follow the basic rules of usability and common sense.  You want to communicate with your visitors, don’t drive them away.

Below are ten userbility nightmares.

1. Hidden log-in link.
2. Pop-ups for content presentation.
3. Dragging instead of vertical navigation.
4. Invisible links.
5. Visual noise.
6. Dead end.
7. Content blocks layering upon each other.
8. Dynamic navigation.
9. Drop-Down Menus.
10. Blinking images
