So, our website still sucks...

Untitled Document

I hope they didn't pay a lot for it. Sharon was boasting in the office how GREAT this guy was that she found (used to work with). I mentioned I wanted to try and put something together before she brought this guy in (it'd be cheaper for the company)... and she's like... "oh, this guy is a pro...he would be better".... Yeaaahhh... 5 months later we finally get it and.. notice the title... "Untitled Document". The site is only FIVE pages! QA is OBVIOUS!! I'm sorry. It's ugly. Very Very ugly... Pro or not. I'm going to go pout. Excuse me.

Yeah, that's definitely THE ugliest site I've ever seen. Kidding--but it isn't the most attractive thing out there, that's for sure. Leaving "Untitled Document" as a page name is completely unprofessional and your boss clearly was unwise not to take you up on your offer!

I can't even look at it. She sent an e-mail around asking for comments and suggestions... I had to use ALLLLL the will power in my body to NOT say it's ugly and that it looks like it was created in MS frontpage and Paint by a 5th grader. In fact, now-a-days, 5th graders CAN do better! I am by far not the best myself but I can do wayyyy better than that. But Sharon is a sales rep... she sells. She sold my boss on how "great" this guy was even though it was a bunch of BS. That website is embarrassing...


Maybe after I find another job and move out of Tampa I'll mention that on my last day... "ohhhh, by the way... "

Well.. this certainly is not good. Or it could be Firefox 3.0 that I just installed. Hmm..
