If you happen to speak to someone from that company, tell them to lose
the
Flash nonsense. It's annoying and slow. When I want to browse
products, I
want to see them as quickly as if I turned a magazine page. They're
using
Flash to switch from one picture to another, which can be done faster
in
other ways. Silly.

Turn off the Flash player, Active X

Cool, but then what happens when I go to a site where I want to see the
pictures, and they're only available via the flash travesty?- Hide quoted

So.... now you want you use flash.......
go figure....

I never said that. If you disagree, quote the text. I said I want to view
pictures without flash. Before that, I said the site design was defective.- Hide quoted text -

The site design is defective because they can't judge when you are
viewing it as opposed to someone who likes Flash? Now, I agree that IN
MY OPINION there are better ways to approach ME than use Flash, but
some people love the stuff!

Many TV & radio stations claim to know that their audiences love loud
screamer commercials, while surveys show otherwise. The same fools who sell
& create those commercials have now infested the web design industry. Their
"practices", if you can even use that term, fly in the face of what old
hands in the ad biz know is effective. The rules have not changed at all.
What's changed is how they're implemented in this new medium. To some
extent, it's guesswork because some customers respond better to video, while
others prefer brochures or magazines. How is an advertiser to know? By
asking, of course, or by offering a choice. Unfortunately, this small step
is very rarely seen. Barilla did an excellent survey earlier this year, in
an effort to learn more about its customers and where to place their
advertising.

Meanwhile, web designers do their jobs using their penises and their egos,
instead of their brains. Tell me how long it takes before you see any useful
content at this web site: www.highfidelityrochester.com On my DSL
connection, it takes at least a minute. Surveys consistently indicate that
you've got about 10 seconds to deliver information to the user, or they're
out the door, so to speak. I've conversed about the site with the president
of the web design company. He thinks it's just fine, but also blames his
customer for the travesty. Fine, but a travesty? This is analogous to radio
ad sales people who know a customer's commercial sucks, but claim they can't
really advise the customer about how to do better.

When I want to shop for a product, I want a brochure, not a demo of how many
tools a "designer" felt like using on a given day. When I'm ready to turn a
page, so to speak, I want it instantly.
