So I was interested in trying Front, and it looks like just what I need, but JESUS, what a terrible way to greet people to their site. The title is flashing with kind of instant chat, half the page is taken up with "HI!!!!!" banners. Does this actually convert?!
- peteretep 8y agoAlso their signup form inexplicably won't let me sign up, and doesn't tell me what it doesn't like about the form submission. This does not seem like discipline. Doesn't work in two different browsers. Anyone have a recommendation for alternative tools that do the same thing, but that aren't quite so customer unfriendly?
- chronogram 8y agoYou’re right that is the most annoying website so far. They’re taking April’s fools too far.
- ztratar 8y agoMaybe I'm missing something... I see the chat bubble in the bottom right. Pretty standard nowadays. Nothing uniquely bad about it here. And that's all that's jumping at me? The rest is the normal website. What else is annoying?
- peteretep 8y agohttps://imgur.com/a/ima8puj https://imgur.com/a/ima8puj Top and bottom seem to be some kind of contextual banner, also the bottom part keeps changing colour between primary colours. The title of the tab keeps flashing back and forth. I think the bottom part may be meant to be some kind of navigation? But it's partially obscured by the chat box, which has no obvious way to dismiss it. It has taken significant willpower not to close it down and never come back, and I am their target customer and in a buying mood.
- arethuza 8y agoI don't think they've tested their website design at smaller window sizes - full screen for me looks fine, but when I reduce the windows size things start overlapping unpleasantly. Personally, I'd rather they stopped the transitions while scrolling and keep it a bit simpler so it resizes properly!
