Daily Sucker for Thursday, January 29, 2009

In my opinion the most glaring piece of suckiness is the spinning “AMP” — really, really annoying.
Click on a link. I chose the wedding link. Just about every line of text on the page is underlined. Are they all links? No. The huge fonts remind me of all the unsolicited right-wing spam that clogs my inbox. They also keyword loaded the bottom of every page.
This guy might do good video work, but his website isn’t very professional and makes me want to look elsewhere.
P.S.: The poor woman in the yellow shirt on the Corporate and Broadcast page looks like her breasts are being smashed by the equipment. (Made you look!)
Vincent Flanders’ comments: I apologize to the submitter for not being able to reproduce his/her email as it was sent. To get the full effect, you need to see the original email.
It is now time for Father Flanders’ Sermon on Sinful Shrinking:
Just because Jesus miraculously turned water into wine doesn’t mean he can miraculously turn your 1.21Mb, 1132- x 1696-pixel image of a bride into a 30Kb image just because you changed the WIDTH= and HEIGHT= attributes to WIDTH=”383″ and HEIGHT=”573.” It doesn’t work like that. Besides, Jesus has much better things to do.
The submenus don’t have the proper links. On the wedding page, there’s no link to the Corporate & Broadcast page. We also have the usual litany of text mistakes: multicolored text, centered text, etc.
BTW…Are there any web sites that don’t suck under the heading of videography services? Maybe we have another YAITS — Yet Another Industry That Sucks.
