I thought I might place this subject here and get every ones input on what will make them leave a site fast.
some of the things that will have me leaving a site without looking at much are.
Hard to reed text. (think background/text color, type of text, size of text.
EXAMPLE
Can you read thisor this
Too much centering. Keep your links that are arranged horizontal aligned left. If you have large paragraphs try to keep them left aligned also. It may not look as good but it is easier to read. Keep in mind some times centering is a very good thing just don't over due it.
Offensive Content. This includes advertisements. Make sure you don't offend anyone whether its Sexy models, porn site adds, Racial/sexual/religious discrimination.
Too much/little info. Here you need to find the right amount of information. I do not wont to have to read 10 pages on a soap nor do I wont just he name and color. Have adequate info but don't over due it.
TOO LARGE. Some are still running dialup (dang cavemen).
Hard to navigate. Think about keeping some stuff standard most sites keep links on the left or top and then again at the bottom of pages this is a good way to go. If you look at sites there are some things that are keep the same among most of them. Keep this! I don't like right handed links because I am used to them on the left.
Bad Spelling. I can't spell for crap and don't always watch my spelling on forums but when it comes to my sites I have someone read it over and make sure to spell check. This includes the address bar.
No Phone Number. This is a big deal to me. If I cant get in contact with someone I will not buy from them. I check this every time I plan on making an order. I even call and make sure its not just an answering machine. I don't mind recordings but I wont to know they will call back.
What is some of the things that make you hit the back button?
