NetworkSolutions ridiculous user experience

Every time I have to deal with NetworkSolutions it’s a complete fiasco. Their ability to be so thoroughly worthless to the current domain marketplace is truly dumbfounding. Actually, the phrase “jumped the shark” comes to mind as a fitting description of this company. But for the moment, let’s just ignore the fact that they are drastically overpriced, under serviced, and of course the latest in the long list of their less-than-ethical practices and just talk about the experience of using their crappy domain management services. Friends and neighbors, if you’ve never had to setup a NetworkSolutions account, you may never freakin’ get it accomplished with UX like this!

Style vs. SUBSTANCE is back, albeit in a very minimal condition. s vs. S is going back to basics. Basics being, topics relating to my work in graphic design, web design/development and web programming as well as general happenings in the world of web design. I’ll be adding information about the freelance design/development services I provide soon. Along with a portfolio of my work and info about all of the various projects I have going, like firepaper for example. So stay tuned…

If you clicked a link on Flickr (or somewhere else) and are looking for photos and such… all that fun stuff has moved. So you’ll want to head over to my new personal blog, the Humans are Dead.
