Just because you know Flash doesn't mean you can design a site
I would like to nominate Verizon's Droid phone website for a Giving-Flash-A-Bad-Name award. Seriously. The intro is ok, in fact, it's a more effective sales pitch than the actual site, which:
- Hung on a blank screen the first time I tried to load it
- Makes you read menu text that is upside down and sideways
- Has non-link text scattered at random throughout the menu
- Requires a click and an animation PER SENTENCE of information
- Has a Store Locator link that goes to the wrong page on Verizon's site
I'm far from a pro at interface design, but my mind reels nonetheless. Seriously, someone go paid for this? It's silly for me to get this worked up over crappy web design, I know, but urgh. =:\
...still want one of them phones, though.
