  • Don’t use flash.
  • Don’t have some content as HTML and some as PDF or documents in other formats. You can transfer the content in HTML.
  • Don’t have music playing. Please don’t.
  • Don’t have animated banners or other moving parts. They distract the reader.
  • Use a bigger font and watch spacing.
  • Don’t have scrolling text. Please don’t.

There are many many more pitfalls, but I’ll leave you with these. If everyone used these tips, we would have a much better web presence.
