Goode Wraps

Submitter’s comments: This site has most of the usual problems. REALLY long pages. REALLY big letters in a couple of places. Links that look like they lead somewhere else (University Pain Research Briefs on the Research page. Most lead to another Goode Wraps site instead of, say, University research sites. A fair number lead to 404s.)

However, what I really love about this page: Click on the Secure ordering button. THE BLOODY THING APPEARS IN A FRAME! It is actually a https: site but there is NO way to confirm this. Since it APPEARS IN A BLOODY FRAME!! The url in the address bar still reads http://www.200.com/ not the actual secure ordering site of https://secure.accutek.com/200/ . No visible https; no lock symbol. Credit card is returned to the wallet…

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Amen. I’m not always happy even when I see the lock symbol and the https. There’s no way I’d buy anything here because it’s too scary and the site looks totally unprofessional. “If you don’t look like a pro, the people will go,” is a phrase I’ve used for years.

If you have your browser window open (at least on a large monitor), you can see a whole lot of extra navigation buttons in the left menu. Why are they there? Why is so much information on the home page? Why is there air? (My homage to Bill Cosby.)

Why isn’t the logo at the top-left or at least the top center of the page? Why are there different type sizes? Why is everything so much bigger in Firefox? Why are there such cheap graphics? Why? That reminds me. “Why?” is one of my favorite songs by The Byrds. Here’s a guy who does a great version of the song. Maybe it will take your mind off this crappy Daily Sucker.
