There are a lot of common mistakes many professional webmasters make. Not to mention the mistakes you and I make as we build our own sites and blogs. While we all must learn from the mistakes we make, you will find that your visitors will not easily forget your mistakes nor forgive your ignorance, by not returning.

When creating a web or blog, there are several website design flaws that you need to avoid if you hope to earn your visitors loyalty, and hopefully, some return visits.
