Don’t Overlook the Obvious When Designing Your Websites (Or Boneheaded Design Mistake #424)

No Gravatar

Just a quick rant to be filed under the heading, “Stupid Web Tricks”…

So I find a WordPress theme that I kind of like but it doesn’t implement correctly and I click over to the designer’s site to see if I can get some help. Heck, I’m even willing to pay for the help. I mean, I am potentially a customer!

BUT

Even though they represent themselves as professional web designers – which I presume means they’re available for hire – they don’t have a contact page, there’s not a phone number, email address, physical address or contact form … in fact the only way to contact them is by leaving a comment on one of their blog posts!!!

Maybe that’s how they qualify prospects … make ‘em work for it. Frankly, I think they’re violating Web Law #1 – and the Law of Business in general…

Make it easy for someone who wants to do business with you to actually do business with you!

    I’m using the same theme and I thought you were kidding about them not having a contact email or phone number but after checking out their site…you were right. Not very smart. I probably would have paid them to do a couple of things to tweak my site and save me some time…
