Mystery Company
Once in a while, a company will believe they have all of their IT needs handled, thank you very much! Often, that is a true statement. Sometimes - it is not. Sometimes...you check in on that company, to find their website (which they had under control, remember?) has very much been hacked. #sorrynotsorry
Gold Force
Gold Force sounds like a super-cool division of the Avengers, doesn't it? Alas, for now it's simply a company offering 'Reliable & Efficient Virtual Assistance'.
This company's website isn't visually appealing and appears to have been 'designed' quite some time ago. We DO see a link to a Facebook page, maybe that's where the updated information is. Nope. The most recent post there is from 2017. At the time of this writing, that is seven years ago.
There aren't any Testimonials, there aren't any Resources. Why have the nav options if there's nothing there? Shrug. We'll pass, YMMV.
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.
