1. Spelling Errors - Always reread your whole content for spelling and grammar errors. It would be embarrassing and would make users think you are pretty bad business because of bad spelling. This shows quality.
2. Flow - Make it obvious for users to know how the site will flow to each page.
3. Hit Counters - Nobody cares how much hits you have. This could hurt you more than it can help.
4. Long Pages - If the user needs to scroll down forever in order to read your content, they will probably just skip it altogether. If that is the case with your website make it shorter by adding bullets and tables.
5. Overuse Images - You don't want your user to wait for those 50 images that you placed in the content. That would actually cause users to leave because they are not interested. Keep it simple with less image as possible.
6. Fancy fonts - They are nice, but are they even readable? Better yet, do some of these users even have the same type of font as you do on the computer? Just play it safe and stick with common and easy to read fonts.
7. Music - Sounds on a website is such a failure and annoying. Also, like overuse images, a longer loading time too which is not good, as explained before. But if you must use it, let them start it themselves.
8. Harsh Colors - Don't use harsh or bright colors. Bad contrast could strain users eyes and give them headaches after staring at a certain amount of time.
9. Intros - Do not force the user to watch or read something before they can access the real content. This is annoying. They will stay only if the intro is really unique.
10. Under Construction Signs - Don't tell your site isn't ready yet. This just shows how lazy you are and its very amateurish.
