Web Design

These are just some of the common mistakes which can make your web site more difficult to use. Before checking your website for usability and compliance checking some of your basic housekeeping:

What's your website look like on a different screen size (check resolution effects)?
Is there sufficient contrast between text, background and link colours?
Do you need to use the ‘back' button to navigate between some pages?
Does your website use ‘Frames'?
Is there a horizontal scroll bar?
Can you resize text using your browsers settings?
