Consistent and functional scroll bars maintain user familiarity and improve content scanning.
Why are sliders considered ineffective in web design?
Sliders are ineffective because few users interact with them beyond the first slide, and autoplay sliders do not enhance user experience.

Center aligning long text disrupts readability and makes it difficult for users to follow.
