RLD Relocation
Today's bad website looks fine, right? Nice colors, large photo, clear contact information. So what's wrong?
NONE OF THE NAV OPTIONS WORK.
Not one of them. Not in Chrome, not in Firefox. It's hard to believe that no one has noticed this. Even harder to believe someone paid for this dysfunction!
Oneida Warehousing
Today's bad website doesn't look terrible, but when you look closer, you'll see very little content.
Firstly - a way to contact your business should be big and obvious. FAIL.
Secondly - Some content describing what you offer and how much you charge would be helpful. FAIL.
Thirdly - a working contact form on the Contact Us page, or at the bare minimum - an address and phone number, maybe an email address. FAIL, FAIL, and FAIL.
Retail Inventory Service
Inventory is something that retail stores must undertake, yet few enjoy; which is why companies are out there which will do it for you. Today's bad website is for one such company.
A brief internet search shows that there are many many companies out there competing for the same work, so why this company didn't choose to have a website that's on par with their competition is a mystery.
In a business where you are being paid to be meticulous and exact, one might believe that those traits might carry over to all facets of the business, but one look at this mess of a 'design' proves that theory wrong.
Magic Subs
MMMMMM that looks good, doesn't it? Well, let's go get some! Can anyone tell where it is?
How about a menu?
Hours?
Phone number?
Damn. We really wanted one of those 'magic' subs.
Athena Protections
At first glance, this bad website looks white and clean. Nothing wrong with whitespace, right? Then you realize that the whitespace was supposed to have images but they are broken and not displaying.
Moving on to the subpages, About Us is a '404 Not Found' and so is Careers. Services actually lists a few. Contact Us has an error, Contact Form not found.
There really doesn't seem to be much going on here for any company, let alone a 'protection service'.
