Article Body:

To keep your visitors coming back, the main goals of
 
your website are for visitor participation and benefits.
 
Provide an interesting, beneficial and useful website
 
and they will come back!

If your site is annoying you can be sure they will find
 
another site to visit, never to come back to yours.

Here are some ways you can be sure to annoy your
 
visitors: (they might not annoy all, but probably the majority)

++ Frames - Chopping up a site with frames is a great way
 
to get your visitors frustrated. These frames are very 
 
obtrusive and make navigation and reading your site
 
much harder. They are also disliked by the search engine
 
spiders.

++ Overbearing Graphics - Not only are these blinking and 
 
flashing graphics distracting and unnecessary, they can
 
also cause your site to download very slowly. Most 
 
people do not have the time to sit and wait for an 
 
extremely slow site, and will leave before even knowing
 
what your site has to offer.

++ No Contact Information - I cannot stress enough how
 
important it is to have your email address and other 
 
contact info on every page. This will add credibility 
 
to your site and always give your visitors a reason to
 
be assured that you can be reached when needed.

++ Hard To Navigate -You want your visitors to be able
 
to get around your site without trouble. Have your 
 
links all together in a place that is easily seen. Have
 
them in the same place on every page.

++ Inconsistent Page Design - I have been on some sites
 
where after clicking on a link, I didn't even know if 
 
I was at the same site. The page was totally different
 
and did not have any of the same information or links
 
as the previous page. After trying to find what I was
 
looking for and not finding it, I left. Please keep 
 
your site design uniform and consistent. This will 
 
make it much easier on your visitors.

++ Spelling and Grammar – Always proofread your web 
 
pages. Designing and building a professional website
 
is a waste of time if it reads like a five year old 
 
wrote it. With spell checker, grammar checker, 
 
dictionaries, etc. there is no excuse for poorly written
 
web pages!

++ Too Many Banners -If you want banners on your site,
 
set up a banner exchange page for this purpose only. Do
 
not have your homepage or other pages so loaded with
 
banners that there isn't room for anything else.

++ Hard To Read Text - Do not use fancy text or pale 
 
text on a pale background. The easiest to read is a dark
 
text on a light background. Also, if you use a textured
 
or print background, be sure that it is not hard on the
 
eyes. One site I visited had a weave look background
 
that made the text so hard to read, after a few minutes
 
of looking around I had to leave because I was getting
 
a headache. If you think it is easy to see get a few 
 
more opinions just to be sure!

++ Music - Music used to be very common on the web.
 
Practically every site you went to had music. More and
 
more people started realizing that this was a major 
 
distraction and annoyance to a lot of people. If you 
 
really want music, have a choice for your visitors. 
 
Let them decide if they want the music.

++ Lack of Content -You've got to have content. People
 
visit a website to see what the site has that will 
 
benefit them. Useful, helpful, practical content can't
 
be beat! This would include resources, freebies, tips,
 
ideas, information, interaction, contests, etc.

One thing you can do is visit several sites that pertain
 
to your business. Study these sites and write down
 
what you find annoying. Write down any reasons you
 
have for leaving the site. Take note of what you like 
 
about these sites. Incorporate all these findings into 
 
creating a sharp, clean, useful website with nothing
 
that will chase away your visitors!
