Users can navigate your site easier when you have fixed-position navigation. The panel maintains position while they view the page. This makes thing convenient for visitors and facilitates them taking advantage of your calls to action.
Go through all links on any page on your website carefully to make sure there are no links that are broken before you upload the page. Clicking on links that bring you to errors is quite annoying. If you have very few links, you can check them manually. If many links, try using a link-checking program that can do the work for you quickly.
Always give viewers the option to cancel a current action. For example, put a “clear” button on a form, an unsubscribe link on all newsletters and a “cancel” button on orders. If you do not give visitors the option to get out of an action they do not want to continue with, you are pressuring them into something. This makes them less likely to come back or buy from you in the future.
Be aware of the background you choose. Your background should not be too distracting and allow your reader to read the text easily. Choose a background which coordinates well with the message that you are trying to impart, it must blend in well with the balance of your website design.
Do not overuse JavaScript. It does provide more ways for you to build a responsive and transparent site, but it can be problematic for some visitors. Each of the many popular web browsers out there are frequently updated, leading to many different versions being in use at the same time. Not all of your visitors will have the most recent version of the browser they are using. Additionally, you need to realize many people disable the JavaScript function in their browser. Both of these things mean that these users are prevented from using your site.
