That gramatically-incorrect paragraph on the home page - frankly, it’s kind of frightening. “Mind-bendingly good chicken”? “Zalads”? Shouting at Grandma for bogarting the wings?
Okay, looking at more of the site - it appears that they really like sentence fragments.
Bottom line - I give this site two thumbs way down. It sucks.
Yikes.
I had a web design class - I don’t know what would have happened if someone committed (two t’s?) the cardinal sin of using flash.
We even had our own praise. If a website was good, it was “sterile”.
Clean, got all the needed info - few, if any, extras - dialup friendly.
Good times.
What got to me was that they purport to sell man-portable test equipment, but you have to fill a form out to find such footling details as dimensions, weight, power supply…
matt you must have been at the website I was earlier today because I had a similar experience.
I was searching for some information on a 24 port patch panel we needed to do some CAT6 terminations. I went to the manufacturer’s site and used their search function. Now I know they sell these things because I have a similar one sitting on my desk right now and my vendor wants to know how many of these items from this manufacturer I want. I want to confirm the part number so that my vendor sends me the right parts (with a month and a half delivery time to the desert this is kind of important). Okay, I do the search. 300 hits - just fricken lovely. I do a quick scan of the search results…hmmm, I didn’t know they sold switches and servers and routers. Well you learn something new every day…Yet I see no mention of what I am looking for. I look inside a couple of the search results. Nope, don’t see what I am looking for there either. After a couple of look sees I start to get suspicious. I do a search inside the links for the keywords I used. I found port most of the time, 24 some of the time, and patch/panel only a few of the times. Never all at once. Apparently this firm does not manufacture 24 port patch panels even though I can see their name on the one sitting next to me and my vendor is willing to sell me both the 24 port and 48 port models. I end up doing a google search to find the item in question and end up going to a place like www.Isellshitthatfelloffthebackofatruck.com for the part number.
This isn’t the first time for this. I have a part and part number for an electrical break out box right off the box itself. I go the manufacturer’s site. I do a search and find nothing. It is the number right on the box! What other purpose could you have to put a number on the damn thing if you don’t want me to use it to order another one?! Stupid, stupid. :smack:
This is the website for the best-selling beer here (over 95% of the market). They have unlimited resources and yet managed to have the suckiest website ever. I guess that whoever was in charge of approving it has no frigging idea what the internet is all about.
