1. Have ten different types of colored text - This is very annoying.

2. Navigation that makes no sense - Show your site to some friends before you upload your site and try to let them surf around. If they get lost, change your navigation scheme .

3. Flashing and unecessary animations - Don't have any crazy graphics unless they serve a specific purpose.

4. No contact information - Make it easy for your visitors to find their contact information.

5. Free Backgrounds - Make sure your background is a solid color or just white, don't use crazy designs for your background.

6. Scrolling - Make sure your visitors can see most of your pages right on the screen. Don't make them have to scroll to find your information.

7. Strange Links - Avoid links or linked GIF's that go to site that have nothing to do with what your site is about.
