Web Development

After working with HTML and web design for just about ten years, I have found a number of things that drive me crazy with other people’s designs/web sites…so here is the top ten in order:

  1. lack of cross platform and multiple browser QA
  2. lack of search
  3. a new window that when it opens, maximizes to the size of your screen

  5. upon page load, music/sounds begin playing

  10. extrememly slow loading pages
