With regards to video and music, I landed on 1 site the other day and this lady just walked out into the webpage and started talking to me. It wasn’t a video. She just wanked out into the website, like a hologram or something.

I’ve never seen anything like this before. It was cool (if not a little weird).

Thank you, Troy, for your comment.

A user does want to know how long they might be watching a video, I know I do! Knowing the length helps me decide if I have time to watch the video in its entirety at that moment or if I’ll save it for another time. Great point!

I’m glad to hear that you agree about the annoying music, Jody.

You make a great point about making sure that content should be well-written. Spell-check is built-in most programs for a reason! If the owner of the site doesn’t care enough to be certain that the content is grammatically correct, it speaks volumes to how much they care about their business.

Thanks for your comments.

Another important point is that the content needs to be in well written English. Poor grammar or spelling is another reason to leave in a rush.

Thank you for your comment Obaidul. I tend to want to click on bold text, thinking that it’s a link. If you try to put emphasis on too many elements, as you said to excess, you wind up with a muddle. It should be used only for key ideas.

Thanks for your comment Stiri. I very much believe that the look of a site is very important. I base my career on that belief in fact. Even though good design is a major part of making a site successful, these other issues will effect a user’s experience of a less than beautiful site as well. I can put with up with a sloppy site if I can still do what I came there to do. If the site assaults my senses and frustrates me because of broken links or blaring music, I will not stick around.

Thanks for the article!
