Sidhi Consultants – A Good Example of Bad Web Design for Monday, July 12, 2010

Vincent Flanders’ comments: The message on the home page “the flash player is required for viewing this site.  download flash” initially convinced me I couldn’t view the site. Then I realized, “Hey, I’ve got Flash installed.” I clicked on “enter” and was taken to the Flash-based home page.
Ironically, the company specializes in failure analysis. OK. Here’s my analysis. If English isn’t your first language, don’t use Flash. It’s too hard to correct grammatical errors (…witness for insurance industry) and strange word arrangements (…provide clients…forensic services in timely manner and cost effective).
There isn’t anything Flash is providing that couldn’t be done in HTML.
