Easy Ways to Annoy Your Web Site Users

Use a Flash Intro

Place navigation only at the bottom of each page

Long, Wide Pages with Chronic Scrolling
Small frames or windows that can't be resized will force your users to endlessly scroll down in order to view the content on the page. Even worse is placing content so that visitors must scroll left and right to view.

Disable the right click mouse button
Your users can access the same functions through the main menu bar even after you've disabled it. All you're doing by disabling the right click button is forcing them to use other methods to accomplish the same thing.

Play background music

Background music can make a page load slowly and if you don't give users a way to turn it off it can really be annoying. Use the rule: if you need an "Off Button" it probably shouldn't be on.

Constantly fast moving image

Unless your target market is only very young people, constantly moving and fast moving images will drive users away from your site.

Have all links open in a new window
If all of your links open in a new window, your users' will get lost in a screen filled with windows. Only open new windows when there is good reason.

Use a Flash Intro
Return customers will be forced to go through your clever intro every time they enter your site and it's not going to seem so clever every time they come to your site and re-view the intro.

Load your site with pop-up windows
There are better ways of advertising than loading up on pop-up windows that open when users view and leave your site. Opening a pop-up only for specific purposes, not just when a user clicks links on your site.

Place navigation only at the bottom of each page
If users have to scroll through the entire page to navigate to another page they may just leave instead.
