I still see photographers who are slow with Flash websites, no copy, no meta, no compelling search information to make them be found. Oh... but their site looks cool and you can chase the thumbnails while waiting for the images to load. Of spend a few minutes trying to find the well hidden, but oh so precious navigation. Or try like hell to find how to turn off the crappy rap music or free 'hiphop' drum track that floods the otherwise quiet office.
Photographers are to blame as well as the 'designer' who still thinks that the website is somehow about the font choice and line leading... Full of crap? Personally I think that is generous.
Is Your Web Designer Full of Crap? - A Picture's Worth:
"Back in the 90s, when website design was still a novelty, we used to hire designers based on who could make our websites the prettiest. There were so few websites and digital photography didn't exist yet, so getting a photography website together always created a lot of buzz. But times have changed, and grabbing someone's attention to view your photos is much harder. The Internet has evolved significantly, and websites need to reflect that changing reality."
