One problem I have with drop down menus is that too often they are coded in text about the size of the width of my cat’s whiskers. You have to have the dexterity of a Swiss watch maker to click on the right option.
If the drop down menus have several nested levels – one wrong click on level 5 and you have to start over!
If you have a drop down menu with 100 items, for heaven’s sake, please have them in alphabetical order! I was filling out a form with a drop down menu with about 100 countries listed in random order

My top ten pet peeves about the design of web pages:
10. Websites with nothing on the home page to identify itself.
You’ve seen them. Nice graphics, artistic, elegant looking home pages with no information. It might say “ BXY Inc.”, with a link for ‘Contact’ and a list of clients. You click on every link, but you still don’t know what the company does. Hmmm - must be top secret … or they are spies … nobody knows.
9. Flashy, sparkly, swirling intro pages.
You click on a link, expecting to get someone’s home page with the information you’re after. What you get is a page with pretty pictures flashing or blinking or swirling around. It does this for several seconds, or longer if you’re not lucky.
Website programmers enjoy playing with these fancy features (ooh, aah!). They look cool, but they waste the reader’s time. They serve no useful purpose, unless you’re selling flashy, sparkly things.
Another kind of intro page that is slightly amusing … you click on the link to a website and you get another page that just says “click here to enter”.
8. Music, or any other sound, that starts up when you click on the home page and you can’t turn it off.
In the first place, I resent it when people assume I want to listen to their choice of music. There should at least be the option to turn it off.
I find a website that has some good content that I’m interested in, so I go to their home page and the music starts playing some sentimental, mushy song like “Feelings”. So I hit the ‘stop’ button on my browser, but the music goes on … and on.
OK, fine, I click on one of their interesting links and thank you God, the music stops. When I’m finished with that page, I have to go back to the home page to get to the next link and guess what happens! That’s right – “Feelings, whoa, whoa, whoa, feelings….” So I quickly hit the next link. They have several interesting links on their homepage so I’m am going back and forth 15 times and the music is going off and on 15 times.
Pretty soon, my husband says, “What the heck are you doing over there?” So I either give up on that website or mute my sound.
7. Excessive drop down menus.
Drop down menus have their place when you have an option of 50 states or 100 countries, but I think they should be avoided when there are only a few menu options. This is another one of those cool features programmers like to play with that isn’t necessarily productive for the user.

Are you frustrated by the lack of growth in your firm, or the effort required to squeeze any up-tick in performance? Are inadequate policies and procedures a root cause? To find out, take this simple self assessment to see if this may be inhibiting real growth at your company.Q. Can you take an extended vacation without the company falling apart?A. If you answered “no” then you have a job and not a business. A business must have a system of standard operating procedures to ensure the work gets done correctly, even in your absence.Q. Can your company handle a ramp-up in sales and production?A. Hidden inefficiencies are often revealed when sales and production increase. If low turns on accounts receivable and inventory, long sales or production cycles starve your cash flow, then something is wrong. Your policies and procedures should document cycle times for your critical operating metrics.Q. Can you effectively add more people to your organization?A. Hiring people is

What is a niche Market? It is simply a group of people with a common interest. Some examples are hobbies, problems, desires, needs and hundreds of others. People are interested in information to help solve their problems. First you will need to find large groups of people interested in the same thing. Think of ideas you want to research. Don't waste time and money marketing to people who have no interest in products or services. Only focus on groups of people already interested in your product or service.Several things are very important in selecting a niche. First, find a group of people with a common interest, then decide what they want or need. Put together a product or service to satisfy that need. Finally, ask if they are willing to pay for this information.Seek out popular markets and make sure there is a large interest in that market. Some types of markets people have interest are money making ideas, self help, health and fitness, hobbies, religious & spiritual just to name a

I decided to upgrade my website and contacted four developers to get opinions and quotations. What an unsettling experience!The first developer spoke at length about the need to set up ‘links, links, links!’ to every other service quality, professional speaking, teambuilding and corporate training site on the Net. He was convinced that ‘no site is an island’ and offered to ‘link, link, link!’ and then send out ‘spam, spam, spam!’ in order to get more traffic to the site.An interesting point of view, although I am not sure about all that ‘spamming’. I moved to the second developer.‘Your site has got to be sticky!’, she enthused. ‘It’s not enough to get visitors to come. You’ve got to keep them coming back! Get your visitors to complete a questionnaire explaining who they are, what they do, where they live and what’s really important in their lives,’ she explained. ‘Then build a restricted area for members only. And issue each member a special password allowing them restricted access to li

I had to read the whole list and I finally found my country near the bottom listed between China and Transylvania!
6. Too many moving parts.
Too many moving graphics on every page make it hard to read the content. I know, it’s fun to have cutesy animated graphics on personal web pages, but they shouldn’t get in the way of reading the content. A little animation is interesting and artistic – too much is annoying and cheesy.
Oh, let’s not forget the most annoying graphics of all – animated banner ads that talk to you! Excessive animated banners are distracting and annoying and they look unprofessional on business pages. If a page has too many of them, I won’t stay there long.
5. Web page that is too long or too big.
Long web pages are too hard to follow. These are the web sites where the first page goes on and on with no discernable structure. It’s like trying to read a 400 page book on 1 very long sheet of paper with no chapter breaks.
Web pages with huge pictures are a problem, especially for Internet surfers on a dial-up connection. Pictures should be resized to no more than 50k-100k and/or compressed. When someone is on a dial-up connection, it can literally take 5 or 10 minutes for a bunch of large pictures to be displayed.
Couple a bunch of large pictures with a web page that never ends and you might as well go watch your favorite movie while the page is loading. People on a slow connection will just give up and go to someone else’s website.
4. Totally invalid search results.
If you spend a significant amount of time researching on the Internet you have probably run into this. You enter ‘cat jewelry’ in the search engine and you get a page that is selling a bunch of stuff, but it has nothing to do with cats or jewelry – and it’s not a rock group called Cat Jewelry either.
This happened because the keeper of that website is using the search keyword phrase ‘cat jewelry’ for their website because they found out it is a popular keyword. This is known as keyword spamming.
What are these people thinking? I guess they think if you throw enough spam against the wall, some if it will stick.
If Google catches you keyword spamming they send a burly guy named Bruno out to stomp on your keyboard. No, seriously, they drop you from their ‘lists’ and act like you don’t exist.
3. Websites that look like they were shot out of a shotgun.
These websites often have the #5 problem also – going on and on with no structure. They have tons of obnoxious banner graphics with no common theme. ‘Save the Orphan Rats’, ‘Best Long Distance Rates’, ‘Are you a good kisser?’, ‘Free Ins
