i like the way they use frames

badly

CAPS LOCK!

really though, it's pointless having a fancy site if mk still fail to read emails etc.

and as an occasional site designer/code monkey, there's nothing i like to see less than a flash intro on a html site, or worse, a fully flash based site. very, very rarely is flash done well.

Probably just me, but none of the 3 sites appear to work at all this morning!

I do agree they could be far better designed and maintained and as for having host banners, there is just no need.

Still - great cars and people though, so not a major factor for me!

Cheers

you have the greatest handling of diplomacy I've ever seen I hope you're not building an Indy then...

My company are one of the largest automotive suppliers in the world but our's is sh*te too!

Flash is ok for certain site's in small amounts. It's often WAY overdone and therefore spoils the viewers enjoyment. IMO

Unless it's a specific site I need, I normally exit after 5~10 seconds - I have 1Mb broadband but some flash takes

Yes, Snoopys' avatar is very VERY distracting... But in a really niiiice way! Alan B. should approve methinks. BTW, don't you think her nipples will be getting sore by now with all that rubbing?


Alan B - 3/4/04 at 01:41 AM

Approval granted.

TBH Most of the sites I have seen while searching for Kit car manufacturers have been poor, the only one that is even close to cutting it is the Luego one but even that has bugs in the layout and the RH site must have been built by a monkey.
I am not having a dig at anybody but I run and build web sites for a living and I hope no money changed hands for the development of some of the sites I have seen.

I offered to rebuild and ecommerce enable the RH sites free of charge and all they did was return one of my emails with "We will pass your details on to the people that look after out site"

Hi all,

Once upon a time I offered to build there a web sight for free (ok that is a lie I asked if they would consider giving a discount in return) as I believed that the website was and still is pore although there is increment I was told at the time that the sight was maintained by a friend and they did not want to rock any boats. Which I guess is understandable however I would have in today’s age that even a complete ammeter over a weekend could turn out a well thought out web sight nothing flashy but informative and useful. A bit longer and you could have a very nice web presence.
