:The inability to link to may be the reason of change. Lot of web owners would prefer if everyone would view few ads before actually seeing what he wanted to see (in flickr's case, obviously the image). While it's understandable, it's also really annoying. Site which can be searched, quoted and linked to (including hotlinking) is much more usable, and usually even if you don't search, quote and/or link to it, but marketing people are still trying to {{w|You_can't_have_your_cake_and_eat_it|eat their cookie and keep it too}}. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 10:27, 13 September 2013 (UTC) | :The inability to link to may be the reason of change.

β | :Bad web design is always a factor (preference to forcing embed revnue-generating ads aside). I once (if you bear with me) redid a website whose pages were images. Not predominantly images (including some title headers, to get the look ''juuust'' right) but ''whole'' images, one huge one per page (made to fit a conservatively assumed (non-mobile) internal browser dimension), with imagemapped links over the text links within the copious (perfectly rasterised) text. Just because the previous designer had wanted it to look pixel-perfect, or thought it was more efficient. (Repeat after me: "keep content separate from style" | + | :Bad web design is always a factor (preference to forcing embed revnue-generating ads aside).

(Repeat after me: "keep content separate from style" (and "accessible to the visually impaired" would have been nice, too, just for courtesy.) The only exception was a contact-form page, where the standard HTML <input> tags were used in a frame-held blank space. Perfectly positioned using absolute coordinates in CSS. Fair enough, except that the designer had used a page-builder (of course!) and constructed the page asynchronously in WYSIWYG, so that tabbing between fields jumped all round the page, reflecting the order in the Markup (no relation to page order, and 'labels' and fields not next to each other). |

:The first thing I did (unnecessarily, but for 'fun') was redo the existing pages ''properly'', and show the owner how much better (and smaller, even non-compressed ASCII and HTML tagging) his site was even without any visual changes. (Then I revamped it completely, keeping it technically competent but I'm never that happy with my own stylings. Owner seemed happy with one of options I put forward, though, even without further tweeks.) | :The first thing I did (unnecessarily, but for 'fun') was redo the existing pages ''properly'', and show the owner how much better (and smaller, even non-compressed ASCII and HTML tagging) his site was even without any visual changes.

:OTOH, there are those so bad that they're... well, required viewing. RIP 'Yvette's Bridal Formal', you will be missed. (Many discussions, multiple screenshots and several archives available via your friendly neighbourhood search-engine, if you need it. Totally SFW, if you avoid the 4chan discussions of it, but perhaps not for sanity.) | :OTOH, there are those so bad that they're... well, required viewing.
