Things that make your website look chavy

1. Flashing text

2. The use of red text for anything other than error messages

3. Banners

4. Square Google ads before the main content

5. Audio that plays on page load

6. Selling / giving away smilies and ringtones

7. Being part of MySpace

8. Overlays you have to close before you can read the main content

9. Ugly/distracting animated gifs

10. Breasts

Slightly less chavy but equally annoying is the ad that makes it look as if a spider is crawling up your screen.
