Make it Great

I have found my long lost brotheren. I actually stumbled upon someone who felt the same way I did about the SplashPage.I think it was more than just occurance it was meant to be, that I find him one day. I thought for so long that I was alone with my deep feelings against the Splash Page but I am not!

Here is a snippet of his blog post:

Think of running into your local gas station in a hurry to pay for your gas. Imagine opening the front door and entering a hallway with another set of giant mahogany closed doors at the end of it which have ” WELCOME TO COMPANY X “WHERE THE CUSTOMER COMES FIRST” written above them. You have to walk forward and press down on the big heavy handles to enter….(the offline equivalent of having to do an extra click online). Now doing that once may not seem so bad, but would you still return to this gas station [website] if another one was built beside it with no extra door [splash page], just a place to make your payment [substitute with primary goal of your site]?

That was so great I was almost moved to tears and a standing ovation! But, I thought that was a bit much for a post from someone I didn’t know…….

I think we all should read this article it really is an eye-opener.
