Fine Amish Food - pitty about the site

May 21, 2007 in Lame

While working on a bug at work, www.amishfinefood.com turned up in industry ranking results. Now I don’t claim to be familiar with traditional Amish cuisine, but there a few wtf’s here:

  • What’s up with the loading-splash-horse-thingy?
  • indexx.php [sic] ????
  • <marquee> tags! run!
  • Never rely on images alone for navigation: http://www.amishfinefood.com/indexx.php/? (unless, of course, you can degrade gracefully)
  • If basic gist of the Amish way is to shun technology of all forms, just wtf are these guys doing on the Internet?
  • While may have been reluctantly into the use of the Internets as a distribution channel, do the really need to take the amatuer, wtf-are-standards, totally shite ‘traditional’ approach to web development?
  • Try doing a search for a product called ‘%’… I didn’t know SQL Injection was traditional Amish fare!
  • I guess expecting SSL for credit card transactions is just pushing things too far.
