I was stumbling through pages tagged with photography and I remembered something that I really hate, and is used on a lot of photographer’s websites. The number one complaint is of course that it is flash. But mostly, it’s those stupid flash pages.

Almost every single photographer’s website has a flash page with a little logo, and text that says “enter” or “enter site.” Hey, web designer: Do you know why I went to the site in the first place? to go to the site! Why do I need to go to your site and then enter the site! It’s ridiculous! And then you want to all open another window on me resized however the hell you want. I browse with tabs. If your site breaks out of my tabs, you can be guaranteed that I won’t be staying on your site any longer than it takes me to click the close button.
