I must convince a client that the method they want to use for searching and selecting on their site is akward. Does anyone know of any sites (beside search engine) that have a really good search and select method? Most of this "Web application" we are creating is searching and selecting so I need some good ideas. Any response would be appreaciated. Saving Changes...
I can try to help answer by pointing you to a collection of bad examples. www.websitesthatsuck.com is a site dedicated to building better websites by pointing out how many people have failed either by being stupid or by trying to be too cute or smart. I last read it several months ago when they had a topic of "mystery Meat Navigation" which is related to your point. The site is actually very professional and intelligent as it shows what NOT to do on a website. Perhaps, showing your client that a similar spproach earned another website the dubious distinction of a "web site that csucks" may be enough to convince them to listen to you. If not, at least the website you build will be famous! Best of luck, Gordon Saving Changes...
