7 Deadly Web Design Sins You Might Be Making

Web Design -  Important Points

• Use headline fonts that are big enough to demand attention.
• The number of people using mobile devices outstripped people on desktop computers in 2014.
• Make form inputs bigger. Not only desktop users will have an easier time clicking on these but mobile users won’t get frustrated when clicking on that small field.
• Alignment dictates the ease of flow of the website. The one column pattern makes the entire product description as a narrative and the chances of diverting through other information slim down.
• For all the reasons mentioned above, font sizes have increased over the last few years to the point that many view 14 px as the very minimum font size, and many sites go even bigger with 18 px as a minimum
