I’ll Stay Off the Course if You Stay Off the Web

It seems that Nancy is miss­ing a very impor­tant piece of her mar­ket­ing strat­egy for her golf videos. The website…

It's been updated, but it still sucks

It’s been updated, but it still sucks

Have you ever seen a site that is so bad, no mat­ter how much you needed what was to be found there, you just couldn’t bear to stay? This is that place. It’s like walk­ing into a Wal-Mart in the bad part of town after a snow. The floor is cov­ered with melt­ing slush and every­thing just looks out of place.

The site is Nancy’s Golf World, and I can’t say I’d take any lessons. It seems that Nancy feels that she is a capa­ble do-it-herselfer as it per­tains to her web­site. I won­der if she ever got a look at it? There are ele­ments all over the place, and in all man­ner of shapes sizes and colors.

It would seem that she wants us to pay for a mem­ber­ship to her site. I would love to know by what logic this makes sense. If a site owner wants me to fre­quent her site, shouldn’t she make an effort to at least fool me into think­ing that she knows how the Inter­nets work? It’s not like a truck, you can’t just pile things on there (thank you Sen­a­tor Stevens). There are piles of images and text com­po­nents. What’s fun­nier still is that she has a blog, and the blog tem­plate is pass­able. Why not just add pages to it, Nancy?

Judg­ing from her pic­tures, she doesn’t look half bad. She has a nice golf swing and I’m sure is a capa­ble pro. So why on earth did she opt to do her site her­self? Maybe she thinks she did a good job. Maybe all the folks that have sites listed here think they did a good job. I just don’t under­stand how peo­ple can look at things like this and think, “yup, that’ll do ‘er.”

Start­ing the video and run­ning it with­out con­trols is a nice touch too. Wish I’d thought of that.
