We have set out below major mistakes that can help scare away visitors from your website to your online competitors!
Take note and be ready to resolve these issues if you think you recognise them on your website.
Choosing Colours
1. Use a natural palette of colours.
They are more pleasing than any of their artificial counterparts. Combine them in order to get the emotional response that you want to get from your visitors. Unnatural colours, such as bright green, blue or red usually cause eye fatigue and chase visitors (i.e. prospects) away. Also you should be aware that primary colours like red, yellow or orange can work well for culinary promotion purposes.
2. Create a strong contrast between a page's background and its text.
The best combination for readability is black text on white background, but there are also other excellent combination. Besides white, other effective web site background colours are dark blue, gray and black. The situation is not the same for product promotions. When the product is the center of attention, desaturated colors are recommended.
