Craptastic Site Design

Dear Crestron Electronics: Esquire had a nice little blurb in their latest issue about your equipment. I was jazzed, so I decided that I’d check it out.

Blah.

I might be an engineer by trade, but you just missed a huge opportunity to sell me on your stuff. Do I really need CAD drawings [via PDF ... ?] of your stuff if I’m just a mildly interested consumer? Why does your residential products page make me guess as to what I might want? Dude. I just saw something cool in a magazine, and thirty seconds later, I felt like I was back at work. I don’t care if you have a La-Z-Boy integrated with a touchscreen that will do everything from control my TiVo and stereo to make coffee and wipe my ass … you just lost any interest I had in you by having a craptastic site design.

Suckers.

    Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater… I used to sell Crestron equipment and it reaaly is good stuff..

    I’m sure that they do, but they just made a big negative impression on me. This isn’t 1997.
