Protecting your user interface design against the plague of common usability mistakes Part – 1

There is a plethora of information available to web designers about how to create interface designs that are characterized by optimal usability.  Yet web designers continue to make the same usability mistakes time and again when developing their user interfaces.  It is not as though web designers aren’t aware of common usability pitfalls—they usually consider them during the creative process and many are well-versed in usability red flags.  Yet this does not always ensure that designers will end up with a user-friendly interface design.   That is why it is important to beat the concept of usability pitfalls to death—if every website floating around in the world wide web was perfect then we wouldn’t need to do it.  But that isn’t the case so it is good to remind ourselves of the illnesses that can attack website usability in order to find ways to keep user interfaces healthy and strong.
