E-mail: Hi, I really enjoyed your books and they have helped a lot in the design of my pages (now I KNOW why my page sucks :-)). I have a submission for you for a web page that[base ']s sucks.

Why it sucks:

1 [^] It[base ']s a business site and you must have Flash to view the site.

2 [^] It has an item on the menu bar which leads to a service which doesn't exist[^] Online Ordering takes you to a page telling about how they hope to one day have online ordering.

3 [^] On my computer it makes a REALLY annoying dink sound whenever I click on a button.

4 [^] It has a beating heart in the top right corner of the screen that won[base ']t go away. It just keeps expanding and contracting, over and over and over[sigma].oh and I dare you to point your mouse at the heart (just make sure your speakers are turned down).

5 [^] The links page doesn't underline the links, it uses rollovers, [OE]cos it[base ']s a business site so let[base ']s flaunt convention, hmmm.

6 [^] The vet referral page refers to a database that doesn't yet exist and isn't on the site, so why is the link there?

Anyway, just my thoughts. Keep up the good work.

Comments: There really aren't a whole lot of rules in web design, but one of the rules is "If you can do it in HTML and graphics, don't do it in Flash." There's nothing on the site that requires Flash. Nothing.
