The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker #1 for Monday, May 5, 2008

May 5th, 2008 1:01 am by V. Flanders

Submitter comments: This site is cluttered and it can be confusing to find what you are looking for, even when using the search function. Also, the text on some pages is difficult to read. Apparently the site is very popular anyway, so perhaps people who use the site often already know where everything is.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: They claim to have over “5000 pages of information, pool & spa supplies and parts” and I think at least a thousand of them are listed on the home page.

I will give them credit for keeping the top navigation consistent across the pages I visited. I thought the search navigation on the left side was going to be on all pages, but the second page I selected didn’t have a search engine box.

The home page is very busy — like Amazon.com, but worse.
