Yes, advertising is the engine of commerce, but it is often very intrusive.Animated elements. Including unrequested slide animation
Please, do not flicker. Start the video, animation and gifs only by clicking on them.Large logos, large heads with pictures, fancy logos
Can we start reading and not scrolling through the half-screen head? And yet, tell someone to the designers and their customers that the overwhelming number of all these fancy logos and slogans are no good at all. Sorry.Update: After many hundreds of viewed creations of designers, logos in the header are now removed by default, with a very rare exception.
*By the way, regarding logos and animations: the opinion of dimisa, one of the authors of Ru Adlist:
The main "indications" for hiding the logos and headers are usually the following: used animation, which spins coolers and the banal saving of screen space. These headers have no functionality other than duplicating the "home" button, but they steal from 100 to 300 pixels of screen space. And while in desktop resolution 1920x1080 this is not critical, in laptop resolution, such as 1366x768, the actual height of the browser window may remain just slightly more than 50%https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?p=144449#p144449

It is obvious that many large sites have their own mobile applications. If the visitor is interested in them, he will find them perfectly in the market. Another question is what quality they are and how much they are needed.Links to add to favorites
It is a standard function of a browser, visual garbage is not needed.Subscription forms (enter email, subscribe to our materials)
A good feature, but relevant only on a separate page of the site. And most likely, they will send any little meaningful spam.Large and expanded by default answer forms
In general, these are useful things, but often designers make them very cumbersome and disturbing. In an amicable way, it should be either a small form, or expanded by click element. So far, a part of the large form removed, with the hope of a better solution in the future.Large and expanded by default search form
It should be a pretty small form, or you can use instead Google/Yandex/Bing.Bulky forms of content (TOC)
