When To Use The 'Open In A New Tab' Option

We provide Web Design Tips that can help you prevent web design faux pas that often cause users to leave your site and never return.

Have you ever been on a website, clicked a link that opened in the same window, and then clicked the ‘X’ to close only to close the site you were viewing as well? ugh  Frustrating, right? So why does this happen? ⁠ ⁠

There is a reason why this is a no-no in website design because it causes your user to become frustrated and literally hit a dead end since the page they were on is now missing. Many people wont even try to go back to the original site they were on after this happens. ⁠ ⁠

What should we tell our web designers so they treat our visitors well?⁠ Have them create a seamless user experience for visitors by only using the ‘open in a new tab’ option for external links only and when opening sought-after downloadable information in Adobe pdf file format. ⁠ ⁠

Basically, if a user wants to view information on someone else’s site, the link should always open in a new window. ⁠ ⁠

Keep clients calm and happy and they will keep coming back.  ⁠ ⁠
