Re: another semi web site shot to hell?

Hello Frank,


Think I'll go and try and navigate the Varta batteries site, now that
is germanically fucked, pity the polyflex looks nice

Now you know why I often spec in their competitors such as Duracell. Takes only minutes to get data sheets despite of some broken links. And I even grew up in Varta country. Incompetent web site design costs a lot of sales but the affected companies will never know. Because they don't listen.

Well, incompetent research cause of lot of lost revenues also,
albeit on the other side of the fence. Never allow a lousy website
to be the major factor in decision making. Go for specs/prices, not
how the presentation looks like. Make a phone call if need be. You
seem to be more worrying about lost sales at the suppliers side,
rather than getting a good find/deal yourself. Of course, Duracell
is okay - a free (!) rabbit with every 144 batteries.


Engineers might not even know what a company offers when their site is lousy. The link breaks in the very initial "teaser phase". Not good. I am not worrying about their sales because I can always find the part I need (yep, including that zener). When I did worry about web presence was while working at a company. I made darn sure the web site worked and so did others there.


BTW, how would you rate your own website? Doesn't look like a
brilliant marketing instrument to me. Don't even want to think
about the lost in sales you suffer from that ;) Of course there
is no point in telling a deaf person to listen up.


What's wrong with it? It's plain and simple. No need for fluff. That web site is only there for initial information. Anything beyond it needs a chat on the phone or in person anyway. And no, you will not find a "sorry but you don't have a flash player installed" message on any web site of mine.
