There is no need for you to be a professional web designer in order to be able to set up your own website. With all the information that you will need to set up your own website available on the internet for free, you should have no problem.

There are also a number of software tools available for free and these will make the job that bit easier. But a major problem that people have is that websites designed by an amateur don’t usually look very good. This is because these designers will tend to fall into common traps.

So if you are thinking about launching your own website then you might want to avoid some of the following mistakes.

One of the biggest mistakes that newbie web designers make is that they get the colours all wrong. The problem for a lot of web designers is that they don’t realise that there is a science to the colour schemes that should be chosen and they just go for any old colour. Mixing the wrong colours on a website can look awful. So before you actually get started with your website, you should think about the colours you are going to choose and do some research.

Another problem that many new web designers have when setting up their websites is the fact that they often go overboard in terms of design. They think that by making their website look really fancy it will hide the fact that they do not really know what they are doing. What they end up with is a website that looks way too busy and very slow to load either of these problems is enough to drastically limit the chances of success of a website.

Unless you are trying to recreate a website from the early 1990s you need to avoid having a lot of flash applications. I would go as far as to say do not have any of these apps on your site because they add no real value they only annoy people and slow down your website. Never put background music on your website.
