Reason behind the bad web design is the selection of an inexperienced website design company. A good web design and website development company takes care of things that turn a website design bad. Some of the common mistakes that lead to useless website design, but taken care of by an expert website design.

Distracting Backgrounds-
Backgrounds are meant the professional backdrop to a website that can attract the online users and involve them. A bad website design has background that distracts or displeases the visitors and makes the text difficult to read. Moreover, the images used a backgrounds make the websites difficult to load.

Inappropriate Text Style-
For the visitors, the information displayed on a website is the best medium to know about it. A badly designed website has font too small or too big to read out. Underlines and bolded paragraphs and use of italics too frequently too make the website design bad.

Use of Animations-
Animations are not meant to be used excessively in a website design. These blinking text and animations often steal the efficacy of a website. And an expert web design company makes less use of such features so that a website has professional look and feel.

Interrupting Music-
Most disastrous aspects of a website design is the ‘Background Music’. The automatic music played in loops and on every web page is definitely a part of the bad web design. It reduces the interest of online users in your website.

No HTML Validation-
HTML validation is an important thing to do with a website design. It needs proper validation as without it, your website has fewer chances to get indexed in the search engine results. Moreover, such websites have slow loading pages.

According to a Friday posting on the Southwest blog, the discount US airline has signed a deal with Row 44 after a number of delays in order to become the latest carrier to offer wireless Internet access in the cabins of its airlines.

Southwest has made its name as a no-frills airline and will be adding Wi-Fi after several other U.S. airlines have at least begun their deployments. For example, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines all provide the service on some planes, and the smaller AirTran Airways and Virgin America offer it throughout their fleets.

But Southwest, like Alaska Airlines, is taking a different route than most carriers, using the satellite-based network of Row 44 rather than Aircell’s GoGo service, which uses 3G to link planes to the Internet. Row 44 received a U.S. Federal Communications Commission license just last month to commercially deploy its latest system, the one Southwest will be using. Southwest and Alaska at one time had planned to launch trials with Row 44 in 2008 but didn’t formally announce their tests until February 2009. Now, Southwest says it has finished testing and signed a contract to buy equipment from the company.

Airlines haven’t provided many hard numbers on the use of in-flight Wi-Fi, which typically costs about $6 for a short flight. During the holiday season in the U.S., Google sponsored a promotion that made Wi-Fi free on Virgin America and in 47 airports around the country that program ended Jan. 15.

According to Southwest, it would disclose the pricing of its service in April. Under the airline’s deal with Row 44, the airline agrees to deliver a certain amount of revenue to Row 44 but can set its own prices for customers, said Gregg Fialcowitz, president and co-founder of Row 44.

Fialcowitz said, the Row 44 service is designed to deliver an average of about 10Mbpsfor all the users on the plane to share. Southwest won’t allow voice calls over the Internet and will filter inappropriate content by preventing passengers from visiting certain sites, according to Southwest spokeswoman Whitney Eichinger.

Row 44, based in Westlake Village, California, currently covers North America, from Alaska through Canada and the continental U.S., Fialcowitz said. By the middle of this year it will provide coverage across Europe, with Norwegian Air Shuttle offering its service, as well as supporting services on trans-Atlantic flights and in Africa, he said. By the end of 2012, Row 44 expects to offer service around the world.

However, despite the good news for the majority of regular iPhone owners, the upgrade has posed something of a problem for those who have taken the notorious jailbreaking route.

Currently, popular jailbreaking tools Redsn0w, Blackra1n, and Pwnage Tool are not compatible with version 3.1.3. The jailbreaking community was quick to warn jailbreak users not to update to the most recent iPhone OS release, especially if your device is the 3G or 3GS model. This forewarning comes just one day after the Redsn0w tool received an upgrade that made it work with iPhone OS 3.1.2.

The jailbreaking community is advising users to not update their devices, and also recommended that jailbreakers play the patience game until their tools of choice are all up to speed.

What has your experience been like if you have a jailbroken iPhone? Let us know in the comments.

And on March 11, the drive will go on sale, which will cost ¥15,540 (US$172).

Its launch in Japan will mark the first time Microsoft has offered a 250GB drive add-on for the Xbox 360 as a stand-alone unit. The drive has been available overseas since late last year but only in a bundle with a new console.

According to a Microsoft spokesman, Kei Iwasaki, Microsoft has no current plans to put it on sale as a stand-alone unit outside of Japan.

The new drive more than doubles storage capacity from the 120GB drive available on the current Xbox 360 Elite console. The drive is used to store downloaded software, TV shows, movies and other content from Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace online store.

Local storage on the console is becoming more important to Microsoft as it attempts to expand its online store and generate additional revenue from entertainment content.

Throughout 2009 the company continued to attract users to its Xbox Live service and ended the year with 29 million users, up 35 percent from the last day of 2008.

Recently, Rival Sony re-launched its PlayStation 3 console and includes a 120GB drive in each unit as it too works on expanding online sales of content such as movies and game downloads.

Plug-in Check for Better Security

Firefox 3.6 can now detect whether any of your installed browser plug-ins (Flash, etc…) are out of date. Why is this important? Cybercriminals often use bugs in outdated versions of some browser plugins–particularly Flash and QuickTime–to attack your PC and potentially install malware that can be used to steal your personal information, or turn your PC into a spam bot. In essence, Firefox 3.6 now automatically does what Mozilla’s Plug-in Check page did for earlier versions of Firefox.

Full-Screen Video

Now, you can watch certain types of videos in full screen with Firefox 3.6. If the video is in the Oog Vorbis format, you can right-click the video and select an option to see it in full-screen. To give this a try, check out this time-lapse video of a drive through Downtown Seattle. To view it in full-screen, start playing it, right-click it and select Full Screen from the menu. Just like that, you’re going down the streets of Seattle.

The downside to this feature, of course, is that it only works with certain videos, and unless you pay close attention to video formats, you may be confused as to why this only works part of the time.

Under the Hood

When we last tested browser page loading speed, we found that Firefox 3.5 was a good deal faster than earlier Firefox versions. Mozilla claims that Firefox 3.6 is even faster, with improvements to JavaScript performance in particular, which should result in faster load times for Web pages and Web apps. Firefox also improves support for some of the latest Web design technologies, which should make it easier for designers to create better, more attractive sites.

And, perhaps as a sign of things to come (with tablets starting to gain more attention), if your notebook or tablet (or whatever gadget you’re using) has an accelerometer that detects changes in orientation, Firefox 3.6 will now be able to tell when you rotate your gadget, and it’ll rotate with it.

Skins Come to Firefox

The most noticeable change–at least from a visual perspective–is support for Firefox Personas. Personas are basically interface skins that you can apply with one click, and they’re actually pretty similar to the skins available for the Google Chrome browser. Mozilla has a gallery of personas at getpersonas.com that features over 35,000 designs to choose from.

Applying a Persona is easy: Visit the Personas gallery using Firefox 3.6. To “try on” a Persona, mouse over it; Firefox will temporarily change its appearance to that Persona. If you like it, click it. If you decide to revert to the default theme, select Add-ons from the Tools menu, click Themes, then select Default.

One thing that I noticed is the themes that look better on the Windows version than the Mac version; it looks like Personas were designed to take the Windows titlebar into account, but not the “unified” look of a Firefox window on Mac OS X (where the toolbar and titlebar appear to be one). Also, while Personas won’t necessarily boost your productivity, some of the ones I toyed with make the text in the toolbar difficult to read.

If you use Firefox 3.5, upgrading to 3.6 should be a no-brainer. And if you use an earlier version, you too should upgrade, if for no other reason than to avoid any known security flaws that might affect older versions. It’s a free download (of course) from getfirefox.com.
