Video for January 17, 2012 – Drive By Truckers VIP ticket sales doesn’t work

Vincent Flanders — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 05:37:08 +0000

The Drive By Truckers (DBT) are one of my favorite bands. I bought tickets for their last concert in Seattle, but I got violently ill and couldn’t make it. Back in 2010 DBT were playing in my birthplace on my birthday and I thought about flying out for the concert. It would have been cosmic [...]

Three Web Design Mistakes From 9/11 for September 11, 2011

Vincent Flanders — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 03:31:03 +0000

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Since Sunday is the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I want to present three different 9/11-themed web mistakes. One is accidental; one is interpretational; and the last one is an example of horrific bad taste. 1. The Accidental Mistake. One of TheStreet.com’s many different home pages from 9-11 needed a sharper editorial eye. [...]

Carousel Design Works – Bad Web Design Example for September 2 , 2011

Submitter’s comments: My husband is into mountain biking and bike-packing and has been shopping for bike bags lately. He loves the products made by Carousel Design Works…or he probably would if he could order them. I present you the product site that won’t let you buy products. This is a great example of sucking. At [...]

Gojee – Bad Web Design Example #1 for July 21, 2011

My wife: You know that link you sent me? They want me to register.” Vincent Flanders’ comments: That isn’t helpful. “That link you sent me” tells me nothing. Fortunately, I went and asked her, “What link?” Turns out the link was for a new food site called Gojee. Basically, you have to register before you [...]

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I click a link that goes to SeoMoz’s MozCon SEO seminar. Here’s what I see along with some notes about how I felt. Granted, I could have scrolled down and found the information. As Steve Krug brilliantly pointed out, “Don’t Make Me Think.” Or as I like to say, “Don’t Make Me [...]

Netflix – Another Example of Bad Web Design for June 10, 2011

Vincent Flanders — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 04:05:16 +0000

Submitter’s comments: Netflix released a new design of their site. You need to be a subscriber to see the monstrosity that they have unleashed but I think you might have a candidate for next year’s awards. The overall usability has fallen off the charts. But don’t take my word for it – read some of [...]

Friday Fun: A Real Life “Fuck You. Pay Me.”

Vincent Flanders — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 23:41:28 +0000

If you have clients, you need to watch the FYPM video. Historical note: the phrase comes from Goodfellas. It’s a great video that most of us can identify with. A friend of mine has the distinction of having many of the excuses clients use to not pay thrown at him in one afternoon. Email from [...]

Submitter’s comments: Although my background is more in graphic arts than UI design, I’m a big fan of your work. My most recent encounter with crazy web layout/navigation comes courtesy of my health insurance plan. After about my fourth login, I finally realized that the main navigation structure is composed of three columns (colors: puke [...]
