Toronto Research Chemicals – Example of Bad Web Design for April 11, 2011
April 11th, 2011 2:02 am by Vincent Flanders
Submitter’s comments: This is the home page of a company that sells mostly esoteric chemicals to the research community. Personally, I think the Flash animation is an 8/10 on the Suckometer.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: That’s why I love my readers. I’d also give it an 8 on the Suckometer. If you just let the FlashSplash page finish, you’ll get a mission-statement sounding pile of platitudes: “Bringing You Products For Innovative Research.” The Flash animation of a chemical ring is also a waste of bandwidth and the color combinations are ugly. The text on the “About Us” page is obscured by a picture of some buildings or something.
To paraphrase the great American philosopher Carlos Irwin Estévez: “Duh. Losing.”
