when visitors don't find what they are looking for
when the site is not promising

A user needs to be able to quickly scan your website and within five seconds be able to tell if it has the information or services they're looking for. This is the rule I always work by.

First impression tells everything, for me if the design is poor and the loading is slow I’ll move to another website...
