Don’t ever do this

I absolutely hate websites that make you click several times to read a single article. It’s simply nasty and mean to us, the readers.

So, website designers – if your boss or client asks you to do that for a site, please refuse. Think of the end user and respect their time.

(For the sake of naming & shaming, Automobile Magazine was the culprit, in this case.)

    The web designer’s is no doubt bound by the marketing department.

  2. I so totally agree, Paul. The worst is to click on the link for the next page and to find either just the credits for the article or, at best, a line or two that could have easily been put on the previous page. The irritation is exacerbated here by (often) slow internet.

    1. And I had forgotten about the slow-connection aspect to this. (How quickly I forget – though it has been almost 4 years since we left Kenya!)
