Here are a few more from my Top Ten Mistakes list:

Inconsistent Navigation: Don't you love a site that has little or no navigation, or navigation that changes on every page you visit?

No Company Profile: I want an About Us page! Who are you? How long have you been doing whatever your site is about? Where are you located? Is this all you do, or part of a larger purpose? What associations do you belong to? What's your mission?

Don't Answer Inquiries: Some surveys say nearly half of the Fortune 500 fail to answer half or more of the contact us/email inquiries they get. If they're not going to bother, don't waste my time by inviting me to inquire in the first place.

Broken links: Run an automated linkbot. Yes, you can't help it if you link to a page that changes...but you still look bad for providing a bad link. Automated bots can alert you to bad links so they may be repaired or eliminated in a timely fashion.

MTV Graphics: Please, don't make my eyes bleed. Good, basic text in a simple graphic environment (read: substance) beats "style" every time. Just look at this Forum.

Good list in the first post above.

Regards,
Keith
