I literally got a headache looking at that. Jon, just discovered Heather’s blog & your blog today while surfing. Hilarious stuff, thanks (well, except for the headache-inducing website example. I coulda done without that.) Read some of yer back-posts, congrats on quitting the job. You know what job stands for, don’t you? Just Over Broke. It;s been over a year since I quit mine and 3 years for the hubby. Yeeeeeee-hah!!!!

OMG… I pulled up allume.com to see for myself, I’m a web developer (C# ASP.NET programmer to be exact).

It took over a minute to fully load. I’m at work, on a T1 line! WTF!

Then I looked a bit deeper, those aren’t images, IT’S ALL FLASH! Now, I’m not a flash hater but there are limits.

To allume decision makers, you’re idiots!

I’m by no means a creative genius, but…

YIKES.

MM thought the same thing as me. I expected a huge pair of hairy balls to flash up at any moment.

its like a porn site for software! I bet each one opens up four popups, requires you to pay for a week of access, and sends your email account 700 emails about “hard drive enlargement”.

Nice bit of linguo: in French, allumÈ (with the accent, but I’m gonna jump to conclusion and assume that’s what they really meant) means loony.
CEO gone mad indeed.

Hey Ross, you don’t have to be a fucking web designer to know that that site looks like a shit bomb hit it. What kind of conversion rate could the braintrust designer have had in mind when it makes visitors run for the hills? Brilliant.
