Examples of design elements that can easily be corrected

 

The "discovered text rollover styles" fix
This happens when the designer first finds out that they can use different styles of text for links that are 'rolled over'. It can often be very painful to the reader / surfer of the website and also throw the nearby text all over the page.

The "everything is important to emphasize" fix
This happens when the designer first finds out that they can use bold text for EVERYTHING they consider necessary to emphasize to the reader. It can often be very distracting to the reader / surfer of the website. What do they think is most important?

The "too much color" fix
This happens when the designer first finds out that they can use different colors of text for EVERYTHING. It can often be very painful to the reader / surfer of the website. You're not sure what to make of what you're reading or why there are so many colors. Less is more...

 Loads of Color Selected Color
