The one I clicked on to view was a retail outlet in the northeast. The site was all flash and took over 2 minutes to load with no options to skip. That stands out in a bad way.
- rubinelli 17y agoMost of those sites also include a pet peeve of mine, tiny fonts and low contrast. Does anyone but web designers think they are a good idea? It's funny how designers talk about Web 2.0 design in terms of gloss and shades, and forget the most important element, the 16 to 20-point paragraphs explaining what the site is about.
- olefoo 17y agoNot to mention that any site that hopes to sell things has to account for an audience that includes a sizable proportion of people with weak vision. If you're selling tchotchkes to sharp-eyed design conscious teenagers, then tiny grey font on a pink background can work. But if your audience is full spectrum, legibility wins. Good designers make legibility win even more; by making things legible and beautiful, but they are rare.
