Web Pages That Suck presents the biggest web design mistakes in 2004 learn usability and good Web design by looking at bad Web design
I've gathered what I think are the biggest web design mistakes committed during the period 1995 to 2015. Yes, it is a little facetious to say these mistakes will be made in the year 2015, but it's human nature to repeat your mistakes over and over. But it's human nature to repeat your mistakes over and over <grin>. I've added more material to the article—especially the sections on Contrast, Graphics, Flash, JavaScript and Text.

If it comes down to a web designer to highlight the smelling pistakes of a copywriter then so be it. Check your tone of voice. Ensure this is consistent across all your pages, that your audience is being addressed the same way throughout the site. Check your details. I’m quite serious about this. Check through any ‘hidden’ copy on site. Make sure you are not going live with any test copy on your site. Check your keywords. Check your titles. Security
