How To Avoid 3 Usability Mistakes That Can Cost You Money

By Jerrold Kaminetzky


Do you know if you have designed usability mistakes into your business website?

Have you ever seen a 404 error page? Most people know what these are, but don't know why they show up. A business website usually uses the standard or default 404 error page, which does nothing to make your business better. You can display a custom 404 page. This will be much more helpful for your business, and most web hosting providers will allow you to do this. Your business can really do much better with your site header on the 404 page. If you want to provide links to your websites, or even your home page, this is something else you should consider. This helps people do something other than be confused once arriving on these pages. When you provide links like this, experienced users will click through to see what you have to offer.

There's nothing new about using keywords in your alt text, but the real reason is it should be a description for people with sight problems. Although that's what many site owners do especially if they're using SEO, but even today, in 2012, there are millions of people using dial-up internet connections. What you also need to make allowances for are slow connections, and this could have some impact for them. The disabling of pictures is done so the connection speeds up, and there are still a lot of people with slow connectivity.

Getting this part right and avoiding the usability mistake is well worth the small trouble to insert Alt text.

In conclusion, some preferences will always remain the same and therefore usability mistakes will continue to be made. As the Internet changes, you will start to see these usability issues begin to fade away. Staying open and aware, specifically in regard to Internet changes, can help you with these usability issues.
