Okay. Now that you're here.

Ever click on a website and wish that you could collar the designers and tell them, "no. Just... no" before they published the site? Dreamed that you could have prevented the agony of thousands, nay, millions of internet viewers?

Now you can.

www.port32.com is about to go live and part of the design team (i.e., my dad) is looking for people to describe their experience browsing the site.

As many people as possible. As soon as possible.

I can already say that since I'm running Win98 with a processor too slow for Flash? There's no way I'd spend ten seconds waiting for their flashy-graphics to load.

*rubs hands together* I've always wished I could do this... some designers must be stopped.



In other news: Last night I dreamed I had a sleek baby porpoise in my arms that kept nuzzling me with his bottlenose.

And the porpoise purred.



ETA: florahart just pointed out I forgot to mention -- just go ahead and post your reactions/experience right here in comments.

What the websiteoptimization.com is saying is that it will take 22 seconds to load on 56k, and 7 seconds to load on 128k. That's higher than optimal, but I have seen much worse.

The music is probably (I haven't checked) in the Flash. So a non-Flash option would take care of both.

Ah, that explains why I'm not getting the music.

You know, those web optimizers are great. I just ran my site through several. The graphics are too large and my SG-1 recs page is waaaaay too huge. I have to create something else to hold those recs.
