Hi,
In the world of web design, mistakes are bound to happen. When so many hands are touching one project, miscommunication and failure to meets certain deadlines are often a result. Then, of course, there is also the notion of contradicting thoughts. While the client might have his or her heart set on a certain design aesthetic, the web designer might feel that the design is best approached from an entirely different perspective. When all is said and done, the website design industry is bombarded with some common mistakes.

Let's review some of the most pervasive mistakes in this industry :

1. Unclear Main Navigation

2. Unclear Links

3. Over-abundance of Ads

4. Flask Site Intro

5. Broken Links

6. Strange Fonts

Again Daniel, great points there.

Flash is a definite no, one should also focus on appropriate color themes when designing a site.
Cheers.

Broken links is still silly mistake made web designer and sometime they still forget to remove the content which has been used to focus content portion on website. There can be possibility that Google read that content and may consider duplicate If it has been copied by web designer. At the end there are tools which validate and checks for this kind of errors and designer must use these tools to check everything is ok or not.
