We've all been there -- yelling at a computer screen or particular website because the antiquated design prevents you from getting where you want to go.
But outdated features on your company's website can do more than annoy -- it can cost you potential clients or customers.

1. Irrelevant Elements

2. Flash Intros
3. Photo Carousel

4. Large Hero Images
5. Stock Photos
