Okay, so one rant about bad web sites wasn't enough. It needed some
additional attention. I have one gigantic pet peeve left, which I could
have broken down into another list of five separate items, but they all
pretty much come down to one thing. I absolutely HATE it when web sites
don't work. The links are not there, the search function doesn't give
you what you are looking for, the pages are not found, the contact
information is incorrect, and the forms don't submit.
If you are going to have any of these items on your web site, you
need to test them regularly and make sure they work. If you aren't going
to maintain your web site to keep it fully functional, then you should
take all of that extra stuff off of it. I would much rather browse
through a nice simple web site that has basic information and valid
contact information. If I need more, I'll e-mail you. Otherwise, it is just
frustrating.
Please realize that I am not ranting just to get this off my chest.
I'm hoping that if anyone reads this, they will make changes. I
guarantee you that I am not the only one who feels this way. I'm sure
you have felt this way about other sites. So, I invite you to take a
good hard look at your web site from the view of a prospective customer.
Would you hire you? Would you buy from you?
