Websites that irritate you...

09-11-2005 12:55pm#1I'm not often irritated by crap websites, but I just came across:
http://www.champion.ie
Right now, I'm feeling the urge to punch somebody in the face. (some would say this is typical of someone who's considering shopping at champions sports
but I digress)
It's not so much a website as it is a flash advertisement... my mind boggles right out of my head trying to think of the production meeting behind this one. :eek:
Why, for the love of God, do people think it's a good idea to have music on their website?! Had it not occured to them that I may already be listening to my own music? (there isn't even an option to turn it off, and if there is - I haven't seen it... so for all intents and purposes, even if it has one, there may aswell not be one)
The whole site has the feel of an abondoned project... like they got somebody to make a first mock-up and just left it at that.... ie. you click a link to what you think is going to be their product catalogue, and all you get are three jerseys.
It's as if they didn't stop to think of why they wanted a website, but knew they wanted something exciting-looking to impress people.
The sad fact is, it looks like crap and takes eons to load... not to mention being utterly useless to its visitors.
This is one of the few websites that I actually hate... a rare thing for me, but eurgh... did they actually pay for that site?0

horrific...
HOLY SH1T!! :eek: I've actually heard a lot of radio ads etc about this place. Surely after spending so many thousands on advertising they could've spent more than 3 euro on their site.whiskeyman wrote:www.moviesatdundrum.ie (clearly a kid of the manager at work...)
No way!

I dont think the actual designer was on CI... just someone how found it and thought those on the forum would like a look.kstanl wrote:You've got to love this image - 150k. Priceless.

Still was a brilliant thread!
Someone mentioned it on the Dublin forum, and a poster got really annoyed and started defending the site... very as if they knew the person or perhaps did it themselves. 0 -

That is a work of art.
Flash intro that you cannot skip
Audio that you cannot switch off (I didn't keep the window open long enough to look)
Nielsen would have a field day
