Web Design

I know it's a tongue in cheek comment, but he won't be the only one thinking on the same lines.
One he missed is the video that pops up as a mini player after scrolling away from the main video you had no interest in.

Sounds about right to me. Well observed.

what makes me sigh are the sites where the chat/subscribe takes over the screen in the centre, instead of just being down in the corner where it belongs

The pop-up when you navigate away or dare to leave the viewing area.

Those with videos, images, carousels and animations with no content.

Those than fail to consider accessibility.

P.S. This should probably be in the Off-topic chat Forum as it is not directly a Xara web design issue.

I did ponder that, but then I thought maybe not because it shows that trying to push visitors in a direction that is self-serving is something that needs serious consideration when designing the page/site. Same applies to animations, pop-ups and other fancy stuff. You may think the visitor will be wowed. You might even think the visitor will admire your skills, but they may just be rolling their eyes and pointing the cursor at the Close Window button.

It's about web design. Bad web design, but web design nonetheless.

This is great, I get to the 'forget' stage often. The problem is....they work.
