Web Pages That Suck - learn good web design by looking at bad web design

Submitter’s comments: Flash gone gangrenous.

1. Two (2) Consecutive Skip Intros.
2. BIG INTROS. It takes about 20 seconds to load each one, OVER CABLE.
3. The Skip link doesn’t show up in either until the load is finished.
4. There is no way to link directly to the first “real” page.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I discuss one of my favorite mistakes in Why You Can’t Use Music On Your Web Site. It always amazes me that people think they have the legal right to put music files on their web sites without paying royalties.

I have to admit that I’m stunned by two FlashSplash page. TWO! Making the situation as stupid as a knife in a gunfight is the fact that you’ll click everywhere but “Skip” to try to go to the home page that doesn’t exist. You have to click “Skip ” to get to the next intro and then click “Skip” again to get to the home page. On the plus side, on your next visit there’s only one FlashSplashPage — but that’s one FlashSplashPage too many.
