What are common website problems, in general?

Answer 1

You mean, for the visitor?
- inconsistency between pages, meaning, where you find something you need on one page, it isn't there, on the next page (like link to Home)
- poor navigation
- slow to load
- hard to read (poor print contrast)
- poorly written
- poor usability (broken links, poor organization, overloaded pages, pages written for what the WRITER thinks is important rather than for what the VISITOR really needs)
- poor accessibility by the disabled (like, say, ability for screen readers by unsighted visitors to access the page)
- poor preparation for the browser (not enough cross-browser testing)
- lack of interest (lack of explanation about what the site and any given page is about, lack of confirmation that, once clicked, a link to a page has indeed taken the visitor to the page that was linked)
- overdependence upon software the Visitor may not have (e.g., page writer wrote with javascript, page viewer has javascript disabled; page writer depended solely upon images to display content, page viewer has images disabled, page writer depended solely upon flash for conveying content, page viewer has no, or dislikes, flash)
