#9 Worst Web Site of 2007 — KC The Catalog
Submitter’s comments: This site blows.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: I like a person who cuts to the chase. There’s no waffling or hint of ambiguity in his/her opinion.
I don’t have the slightest idea what this Flash-based monstrosity is about. Initially, I didn’t notice the zoom icon so I wondered how in the heck I was going to read the tiny text. Even after I click the zoom icon, I still have to stick my face in front on the monitor and squint my eyes to try to read the text.
Just remember that no matter how stupid this site is to normal folks like you and me, somebody or a group of people had to look at the site and say, “Damn, this is hot, hot, hot.”
Other comments #1: This is some of the worst navigation I've ever seen. THE WEB IS NOT A BOOK!!! If you want to flip pages, get the g**d**n catalog!
Other comments #2: This is not much better than just scanning and posting the catalog as a PDF. When will these companies learn (bicycle parts companies I'm talking to you) that people want to search and buy stuff online, not just look at a page load heavy catalog. My husband spends thousands on bicycle parts, and maybe luckily for me he spends less than he would, due to frustrations with online shopping.
