I call myself webmaster at my job running www.talbotfashions.com

Don't see the problem with it. I do everything on the site.

I prefer to be known as an 'Interactive Document Interpreter and Operational Technician'.
At least that's what my colleagues call me

That first one is shockingly complex, I couldn't make that if I tried.
The second one just hurts! :eek:

I seem to get called by the flattering but quite frankly verbose title Website And Network Kreator/Engineer/Researcher. I wouldn't mind, but they seem to say it with a snigger :confused:

Hey, but that's a pretty impressive position to be in nonetheless. I'm hoping my role will eventally get me into the field of Visual Analysis and Graphical Implementation of Networked Assets, but it'll be sod's law that I'll just end up with the Technical Innovation and Tasking Team at Yale.

I feel ashamed

I was once a member of the Central Unit of New Technology Systems in one of my previous roles. 100% genuine. Took management 6 weeks to discover why we were so keen to have the title approved.

If a sites rubbish because of lack of knowledge/experience, I don't mind. But, the work that's gone into these sites.

that's so crap it's funny

dont you think those sites are somewhat stylised? i happen to love the way they look. they can be a bit of a pain to navigate, but they're very nice looking sites.

For a fun/wacky site, they are quite good.

joey1211 · 13 Sep 2006 at 14:25

I just haven't got the patience to hover the mouse over non-descriptive pictures in order to get where I'm going, or not, as in this case.

Unless it's immediately obvious, I click back and look elsewhere.

blade007 · 13 Sep 2006 at 18:06

this is the thing ... some sites appeal to designers who think "that was a good piece of design" and then there are other people who just want to buy something and have no idea where to click when it's very confusing.

Ultimately an ecommerce site is judged on its sales.

as far as i'm aware, crumpler's sites are product sites, not ecommerce. to my memory, you can't even buy from them.

www.we-sell-crumper.co.uk is the ecommerce site

joey1211 · 13 Sep 2006 at 19:10

A fair point, but i clicked back and went looking elsewhere.

www.overclockers.co.uk

Bit dated, tables, front page weighs in at 40kb! Terrible nav etc..

There are worse out there, i've found a few "stunners" on AOL, homestead sites.

joey1211 · 13 Sep 2006 at 19:16

Strange, overclockers is one of my fave designs for a retailer. No flim-flam, easy to find what you want.

Though the search function needs an overhaul. And some products are in the wrong place (USB hubs) in my opinion
