website design - What is meant by "busy"?


What do web developers mean when they think something will make their site look "busy"?


What gives this feel of busy-ness?



Answer



busy - biz -ee:




  • Too many unnecessary elements.

  • Lack of whitespace.

  • Clunky copy.

  • Unorganized and inconsistent design.

  • Improper treatment of text.

  • Too many styles, fonts, colors, or other design elements.

  • Lack of focus or purpose.

  • When the client wants you to make the logo bigger, add links to all of their quasi-partners in the footer for SEO, have several blinking Flash banners, animated .gif files, autoplayed audio and video, and a picture of their dog Fufu because they think little yappy dogs are cute and will help sell widgets.

  • Myspace.
