Vincent Flanders' Web Pages That Suck has a very interesting article called “The Biggest Web Design Mistakes 2004” that lists the mistakes on web design from a visitor's perspective. Some of them are very good but not all of them. One sentence comments blog like:

- Candor
- Urgency
- Timeliness
- Pithiness
- Controversy
