This is so basic - and makes me wonder. This is a web design and consultancy company. Head over to their homepage, and you will see that they make you “wait” for about 2 minutes until their homepage site content loads. How ridiculous.

To top that - they have inserted a pong game for you to play while you wait!

How ridiculous x 2.

Firstly, making anyone wait for more than 10 to 20 seconds (specially for your first page to load) - is a HUGE put off. To then make them play a game of pong while they wait, makes absolutely no sense. Why the heck would I indulge to play the (first) video game ever made ? While the rules and learning curve for the game are a no-brainer (and probably why they chose to display it) - its damn outright BORING. If you want me to play something and waste my time, at least pick a half decently good game. Solitaire, Tetris, Bejeweled … etc.

This company claims to be doing Web Design, Development and Consultancy etc etc - but, if they can’t get such a basic thing done right, I would strongly advise everyone to stay away from them.

I’m hoping my email to them, makes them remove this landing page tactic, and if you don’t see it on their site anymore - then, they did listen to me I’ve inserted a screen shot below, for those who missed it.
