So professional -

Googling for CSS in email stationery I wandered across what was supposed to 
be an HTML cheat sheet. The sheet was not very useful for me so I thought I 
would check the main site for any possible useful information. As I waited 
patiently for the home page to download the only thing that came to my 
immediate attention was that the message displayed in the IE title bar had 
not been run through spell checker - lol  And this guy is supposed to be 
professional. That was enough for me to stop looking.

Anyone else here have some bad examples of web design to share?

Some other pet peeves I have:

Every single link opens a new window, including the new window's link to 
return to the referring page - my pop-blocker goes bonkers, and if it's a 
new site I am not about to let it have free reign over my machine - so I 
leave - asap.

Spelling errors. I can handle them in email and news posts - but not on web 
sites.

Chat Speak - on web sites, in email, and news posts. LOL, ROTFL, LMAO, or 
LOLOLOL being about the only exceptions. f u cn tpe lk ths - don't bother 
writing to me!

There are others - but I'm curious to know what other folks have to share 
:o)

I admit to having had a few typos on my Cub Resource site, but I have a nice 
size following and they usually write and let me know when they see it.

That is what I do when I see a typo on most sites, write to the webmaster. 
But, I only do this with minor typos, missing words, words that the 
spell-check would miss (to instead of too)

<G> Howdy Leslie! Great to see you in here! I meant to reply to one of
your 
earlier posts - however I clicked through to your sites, which are well 
organized and lovely, then landed over at the template site you linked back 
to.... only to find myself over at the FP archive at Microsoft's site *s* It 
was quite a long trip before I got back here - so thanks for that great 
distraction!

Appreciate your input on web design software and thumbnail creation too! I 
may have to give FP another try, although I am a little determined to wander 
away and dive into Coffee Cup. Then again it just might be a java thing (as 
in coffee - not scripting <G>). I'll be playing over this weekend in all 
sorts of programs :o) Hope your having a wonderful one so far!

K.Dee :)

It bothers me that on many commercial sites it is very hard to find their 
address and phone number or even any contact information. The info should be 
on the home page or at least a prominent link to it on the home page. Isn't 
advertising and generating customer engagement what most commercial sites 
are all about?

I also agree about the spelling. It looks very unprofessional. I admit that 
mistakes have sometimes crept into my site but so far haven't lasted long. 
Each and every time a site is updated every page should be carefully proofed 
after clearing your cache. An extra pair of eyes is very helpful as well. 
After an update I always proof every page again a few days later. It's 
surprising how many mistakes you catch when the euphoria of the creative 
process has worn off.
