Hello Frank,

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.

It's not that it needs Flash. But I doubt if people can find it,
and how long they stay on your site and if it brings you new
business. Some projects descriptions with some pictures would
be nice. Don't have to be detailed, just some brief information.
The impression I get from your website is that you do only
paperwork, paperwork and paperwork. That impression is wrong.

The first link 'Services' is an insult to the visitor. After reading
a list of services on the home page, one is directed to a more or
less identical list of services.

The second link, "Where can Analog Consultants..." gives me a
dull page with a long lecture. It is unreadable, as it prints
too wide, all over the screen from left to right. After reading
the first paragraph, I feel lectured, and what hangs is that I
probably have wasted a lot of money, and am facing a redesign
from scratch.

Skip reading the 2nd parapgraph (I already lost interest) I'm told
that something has worked in the past and that there is an
oppertunity for my own engineers to learn something. Yawn.
Have to stop reading, because my neck starts to hurt from
all that turning my head from left to right. If I continue,
my head might unscrew itself and fall off.

Rolling down to the bottom, still feeling lectured and that my
own thoughts aren't much worth, you say "If you think that
analog consultants might be the answer....". Sheesh!

I could go on for hours and hours. This web site does not
invite customers, it scares them away. In that respect it
is indeed brilliant.

Stop ranting about dollar calculators and hire a consultant
yourself, this time for your web site ;) He won't advice
Flash - no worries. He'll make a nice sober design that does
you justice, that is inviting, that is not lecturing, that
looks trust worthy, that can be found etc.

Thanks, Frank.
