The worst website design errors are small fonts, heavy pictures, non-standard links, and flash introductions. Otherwise, I think it is a bad marketing decision to do an all Flash site.

I agree on all points. Also, music really annoys me. Nothing worse than browsing at work and some loud music starts blasting through the speakers.

Music that starts playing is one of the worst things you can possibly do in my opinion, in all my time on the web i have only seen one site that pulled it of on me. And it was made by some realy good designers.

I agree about the music. I can't stand to have music start playing! Its even worse if you are at work and music starts blazing.
Also, spelling is a killer for any kind of business website. If you have bad spelling forget it. You will send your customers away faster than anything.

I don't like music playing on any websites at all. It just distracts me from focusing on the site. Excessive animation, poor layout, spam, Pop-up adverts/flashy Adverts and too many ads (like everywhere you look, there's google ads so you feel like you're only looking at them).

I agree. To much spam advertisements really makes a website look bad.

I have to agree with was is of the flash intros, i use to use them a few years ago but quickly realised that it turned some people away , many and even these days have a 56 k connection for instance, and others just don't want to see it everytime that they come and visit the website

Flash can be very effective when it is not over done as many sites do.. just a small bit here and there is fine.

If you integrate Flash well into the site, like in some parts, then it can look great. As for music, I think that having a few pages with music (depending on your site) can make a site better.

The music I think should be off as standard though with option to turn it on.
Nothing worse than crapping yourself when your surfing late at night and have left the speakers on full blast from the day for some tool to put a pointless midi or something on his page

A spammer's worst nightmare
Other issues for me: websites that take FOREVER to load on dialup. I know lots of people have high-speed internet, but at least in the US there is still a huge population that is using dialup. Google's biggest marketing move was being fast.
Secondly, if it doesn't display properly in something other than IE, don't tell me to use IE, go fix your code. Especially for corporate websites, you don't want to turn away 10+% of your potential customer base by telling them what browser to use.
Music, flashy graphics, and flash all get covered under "slow download speed."
