Since I started my new job as a web site review consultant I have been absolutely amazed. I had always had thins 'thing' for keeping things simple - and I don't mean my hair, the shoes I wear or the blouse I'm pulling out of the wardrobe - I mean business.
Business is should be kept simple.

The problem is that a lot of websites are designed by simple people. People who have not one clue about the user who is supposed to be a genius - well, at least the designer thinks they are else he/she wouldn't design such terrible websites.
Last week, we (well, I mean the reviewers, not me personally) did this web site review of a site that had just cost a lot of dosh (that's cash in the UK). They had just published a new catalogue that had also cost thousands of pounds - and promoted their fantastic new website in it, on it, all over it... But, oh my gooooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What crap!
Crappology at it's very very finest.

It was God awful. Did I blaspheme then? I don't know. Gosh it was awful.
They had misspellings in it, they had empty template pages accessible to the user, they had cream text on white backgrounds, they had absolutely stupid and pointless features that no-one since the 90s have used, they had some content that just didn't appear unless you selected it with a mouse...
Did I mention how awful it was.
Shame that, for non-disclosure reasons, I cannot reveal who it was or what the website was. But I'm sure we'll show a few clips of the review in our vault.
Cheers for now. Anna.
