How not to develop a web site

As I mentioned in my previous post, Ben Forta is coming to Books & Co in Dayton, Ohio. While looking up the event on the Books & Co website, it is plainly obvious that they don't know about proofreading. Now I know it is easy to critique other sites and I know that I often do some of these things some of the time, but rarely do I string them altogether into a lump of coal. Here are some issues with the Books & Co site:

  • Where is the contact information? - The only place they list contact information is on their location page. No e-mail. No online contact form. Nothing in the footer or header.
  • Headline on homepage: "THIS WEEK IN DECEMBER" - The problem is that it is now January. So much for dynamic pages.
  • Calendar of Events: "DECEMBER 2007 FEATURED AUTHOR EVENTS" - Which then lists all the events starting with January 5.
  • And the biggie: BEN FORTNA is speaking about AJAZ - Must be a distant relative of Ben's speaking about some new Web 3.0 stuff.

Come on people--let's get relevant and read over your postings!
