Skateboarding Sucks

Received an email from huphtur today…

So today DC launched their DC Films site. Which is a cool idea, except the execution is straight out of 1996.

A fullscreen popup? WHY? Why not keep the content in the viewport and let the user resize the browser.

And why the flash. WHY? None of the content on the site is presented in a way that it really needs flash. All of this could have been achieved with regular HTML+CSS with improved load time, usability, search results, etc etc.

None of the content can be bookmarked and/or linked to.

And why the heck are the movies in flash? Why not give the user the option to download the clips to their computer? That way repeat viewers don’t have to wait forever and can watch the clips over and over again. Not to think about the bandwidth it would save DC.

DC should launch their web department down Danny’s mega-ramp, cuz this site is an insult to the modern web user.
