Smoke Break #788: “How To Make A Less Horrible Website” Tumblr

asfg

Loving this tumblr – Never Said About Restaurant Websites – sent to me today by readers DG, CMS, and CM. The uselessness of the overwhelming majority of restaurant websites out there annoys me to no end. I slap my monitor whenever a flash intro starts up and cringe if I hear music or oceanic sound effects. It has driven me freakin’ nuts since the advent of the web, and I’m glad to see I’m not alone.
