In honor of National Bubble Week, we’re going to burst some website design myths that have been floating around. Grab some bubbles and let’s dive in!

Myth #1: Website design is a one-time task.

Reality: Your website should be continually updated!

Myth #2: More features are better.

Reality: Simplicity and usability are key.

It’s easy to get carried away with adding features to your website. However, more features don’t necessarily make for a better website. In fact, a cluttered website can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate for users. Focus on simplicity and usability to create a website that is both attractive and user-friendly.

Myth #3: Flashy graphics and animations are essential.

Reality: Too much flash can be a distraction.

While it’s tempting to add flashy graphics and animations to your website, be careful not to overdo it. Too many animations can be a distraction and slow down your website’s load time. Keep it simple and clean for a more effective design.
