JiggeryCock on Mon 30 June 2008 said... Yeah - the equivalent of a cock-rock guitar solo

Barbersmith on Mon 30 June 2008 said... What's wrong with spiders?
Arseington on Mon 30 June 2008 said... The worst ones are those without the 'skip' button. Those get closed and never visited again.
BASIC on Mon 30 June 2008 said... Not good for SEO either, if you're geeky enough to care.
SpackoMcDribble on Mon 30 June 2008 said... web designers know this, it's their clients that don't.
BASIC on Mon 30 June 2008 said... Indeed. "Oh look my logo is flying all over the screen. My website is just SO modern". Easy sell.
AmberGlo on Mon 30 June 2008 said... I'm a web designer and I refuse to do intros. Clients know fuck all about what makes a website good, useful or nice, hence why they come to us in the first place. When you remind them of these facts, they aren't long putting their Directors chair away, cutting out the Stephen Spielberg antics and shutting the fuck up ;)
Dubbadubbadubba on Mon 30 June 2008 said... Aye, clients are often bellends. "I thought maybe it could play some music while they were looking at the site, and instead of having the menu as boring old text on the left like everyone else does, we have all the links as different-coloured clouds in the bottom right corner that make different noises when you put your mouse over them" = "Fucking kill me, just kill me now and save yourself six joyless months of my hare-brained cuntery. That 'second project' I'm promising you if this works out? I'm going to ask for 'A site like Facebook, only bigger and better' and expect it on a budget of £1,995. Stab me square in the eyes now and be done with it."
But yes, intros are shit.
