I am having really bad traffic and i think it's because of a bad website maybe, can you guys tell me what are the signs of a website being bad?
@annaparr,
Bad website, good question, Anna. Which website in particular but can you provide a few examples of the bad traffic
You only have to use Google to find dozens of "10 signs you have a bad website" type pages. Common features include bad color choices, stupid fonts, amateur appearance, broken links, more sales pitch than content, misspelled words, typos, and bad grammar, the "too many" syndrome: too many colors. Too many font sizes. Too many "cute" graphics that don't add value and increase download time.
@annaparr,
Consider user-centered design. Instructions and buttons should be clear and labeled. Steps and screens should be as few as possible to get to the end result. If I go to your site, I need to know what it's about in 7 seconds or less.
Is it hard to read? Is it a site which the disabled cannot use effectively? How does it look on mobile?

Tes I am forever impressed by your abilities. Probly I've asked previously but are you not a teacher
@dalehileman,
Duplicate content is to be consider as a important thing which shows you a bad website signs
Bad Websites are duplicate content, blurring images, bad font style,
@annaparr,
Hey Anna,
In my opinion, difficult navigational structures, poor colour combination and font, low quality graphics, and lack of mobile compatibility are some of the important signs of a bad website.
@annaparr,
1. Your website is not Mobile Optimized
2. It's has no Social Presence
3. Lacking the latest in Web Development
4. Not optimized for conversions
5. Cluttered homepage.
