Wow those are great. I hate slow page loads and pop up boxes, especially those sites you go to and you start reading whats on the site and then a stupid ad comes up and asks do you want to skip ad. I just leave the site.

The never-ending country menu pulldown menu is worthy of mention. Let’s see, 99% of your customers are in the United States, yet they all have to scroll through Angola and the United Arab Emirates to get there. I had one merchant assure me, “You can just press the letter ‘U’ several times to “jump to” the proper country designation without scrolling the entire list. Wow, that’s great web design, eh? The remaining address fields are not tailored to deliver a package outside of the West, yet we are incessantly presented with an option to designate every other country in the world as our mailing address. I challenge any web merchant to show me the last package they shipped to a residential Afghanistan address.

I was also going to post the same rant. Even if I run the site, I don’t want to know your password, ever. I will encrypt it and store it, then, when you log in, I will encrypt the same way and test it against the stored copy.

It scared the hell out of me the first time I asked for a password reset on a site and they emailed me my password. In plain text. Out in the open. So any Man-in-the-Middle could read it.

I do not trust websites that act this way; it makes me wonder what other security measures they haven’t taken.

In summary: A-

Going to start referring clients to this post each time they ask me to add a music player to their website. Some people don’t understand that just because you can do something, doesn’t mean that you should.

Wow! You really nailed it! Somebody had to remind the rest of us what should no longer be done in a web site these days. I thought the web had mature enough from the days where most websites had those flash animated gif images. Obviously new web designers are born everyday and someone has to teach them to not repeat the upgly history.
I particularly love the “Accounts” section. Seriously if you are selling some widgets in your website shouldn’t you wait until you get my money on your hands before asking me all those questions. Is it an e-commerce or an exclusive membership club.

Getting locked-out? Don’t get me started on that one. I paid a monthly membership fee on a web site and they lock me out after three failed attempt every time. And you know what else. I am forced to change my passord every month. How the hell should I remember a freaking password changing all the time. The sad part is they ask me to contact the account adminstrator. Yes, I can do that: I am the freaking account owner, administrator,…

Thanks again for this great article. I feel better already for blowing out some steam.

Hi Bradley,

I only use free websites and am still learning. It’s good to find a detailed list of what to avoid.

Thank you for sharing this.
