For me, that worst is when there is music on the website - especially when I`m at work or in a public place. I never understood why webmasters think we want to hear it.
I totally agree with the above comments. Also the ones that do that always say" But my family and friends love it!" Good then they can be your customers because it`s the only ones you`ll have. :)
the big problem is how to make people come to our websites
I know that when I go shopping around town, I totally enjoy when I walk in the front door of a store and there`s a waiting room. Lots of stores have them, and you HAVE to sit there while they run a small 2-minute PowerPoint slide-show all about how the store is currently open. But at least when it`s finished, you get to walk into the main store.
