Preaching fundamentals in an evolving marketplace can't be too bad. Good ideas are worth repeating.

hello for me I think it was excellent. I will have to review it because I cannot digest it all at once. I think you perform a remarkable service and I am sure you will help my site grow...

Comment to previous post:
  • Yes, it's old. But so are, for example, Geroge Orwell's novels, and they're still topical. If Nielsen had republished the very same article last week, it would still be a good read, because web design mistakes haven't changed much in the past three years. I suppose he should revise that list again sometime soon, since it has been another three years now.
  • True, no TOC. But he marks up the headlines with proper H2 tags, which any decent browser should be able to use for quick navigation.

This article has 2 major drawbacks:

  • it's old (1999) - why does SiteExperts run it every 3 months?  Anyone can find it easilty by typing "web design" or "web usability" into a search engine?
  • it's long, but does not start with a table of contents which summarises it and links to individual sections.  A usability guru should know better.

Frumbert's Top 2 Mistakes of Web Design:

  1. Not listening to good advice, or believing grossly inaccurate advice such as 'Frames are always bad'
  2. Reading someone elses 'Top X mistakes of Web Design'.
