Website Design Myths: Revisiting and Updating a Classic Guide

Over a decade ago, Advertising Solutions, Inc. crafted a comprehensive guide to debunk common Website Design Myths. This guide emerged from observing widespread misconceptions business owners held—many perpetuated by misleading advice from unreliable web designers. It served as a valuable resource for countless businesses, dispelling myths and providing clear, actionable insights into effective web design.

For years, the guide was a staple on our website, helping users navigate the often-confusing landscape of web design. However, during a site update a few years ago, the guide was temporarily taken offline. Despite its absence, the principles and lessons outlined in it have remained as relevant today as they were nearly a decade ago.

Recognizing the lasting importance of this content, we’ve revisited and updated the guide to reflect today’s best practices and emerging trends. In this new section, we’ll be sharing each myth—one by one—along with updated commentary and solutions tailored to modern web design challenges.

Be sure to check back every few days as we unveil a new myth, complete with practical advice for designing a user-friendly, effective, and professional website. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a business owner new to web design, these insights will help you make informed decisions and avoid costly pitfalls.

Stay tuned for the first myth in this exciting new series!
