My Website Sucks
I recently was creating a website for my Wedding next year. The purpose of this site is so our guests can go and get all of the up-to-date information needed (as we are having a destination wedding in Disneyland). Now I thought I was pretty good at avoiding common website errors, like “under construction”, all websites are under construction. And even when I started the checklist, I was passing everyone: No flash, consistent design, easy to understand, quick to load. But then I discover the “welcome”. The first page says welcome. My website sucks. I will need to be more clever….hmmm Disney….Be our Guest?
I tried to sketch out a design using the storyboard and am going to made changes to my wedding website. I think that the list was helpful, however a little long. I think some users would get halfway through the list and quit (Okay…maybe I’m admitting something here). However, the storyboard technique was great. Maybe a combination of the storyboard and a shorter (Top 20 or even 30 mistakes when creating a website) would work well together. Oh well. At least my grandma doesn’t think my website sucks.

Fair comment–but bear in mind the checklist is geared towards professional websites–even early career novice professionals.
I, of course, have conveniently forgotten what happened when I subjected my own website (http://www.johnpegan.com/) to this test. 😉

I had a feeling it was relating to professional websites when I reading over the checklist. I just couldn’t help but check my own site.
