Continuing this look at our trials as web designers, maybe at the end of it we'll learn something!
This time, how about asking for features and not using them. On the whole, this is to be expected. There's always features that sound good, sound use, maybe even appear to be essential, but in the real world they don't work so well. They are fine.
But when the feature is splattered all over the home page, in full view of their customers... Things like 'recent news'. Add a test news item when the site goes live, then 9 months later that very first item is still on the home page, nicely dated so that visiting customers know the site isn't updated.
Just 2 minutes ago I was reviewing a site that I was considering joining the affiliate scheme. Right in prime position on the home page was their news feature - last updated July last year, almost 8 months ago.
If you are going to ask for a news feature, then use it or get your designer to remove it. It makes the site look out of date and not cared for.
Tomorrow, why word could be the web designers best friend...
