Your Web site needs work. In all likelihood, that\'s true, says Custom website design (http://www.wspgweb.com/), the world\'s most renowned expert on Web usability helps organizations design "human-centered" products and services. Ninety percent of Web sites are poorly designed and difficult to use.
Web site designers make all kinds of mistakes, who have done the research to back up his views. The biggest mistake is simple egotism. "Web designers believe they and their sites are important,”. "They\'re not." Just because those involved in a Web project care about it doesn\'t mean surfers will. There are now 20 million Web sites to choose from and more than two billion pages of content.
In this age of the consumer, it’s not what you think about your site that counts. It\'s what users think about it. And even more important than what users say they think is how they act. When surfers arrive at a page on your site, do they quickly find what they want? In general, most don\'t, and they back out faster than they would slam shut a poorly written book or walk out of a poorly directed movie
