Wow, I just read this article from this guy who reckons he knows everything about web design and that "us" web designers tell their clients rubbish to rip them off.

 

My favourite part was him saying that testing the website in multiple browsers is an excuse to get more money out of the client and testing the website in just IE6 will make sure it will work in all browsers. What a joke?

Woah WTF is going on with that site in chrome? IF you scroll to the very top of the page, all the styling is majorley screwed.

 

Anyway, i'll bookmark this and have a read in a bit.

 

Edit: it's only the one page that screws up in chrome ): * disappointed*

It's a p*** take I think

Yeah it is, every point is so so wrong. And the way it's written, the author knows that. Take it with a pinch of salt.

 

Lol, it does actually state it at the top and the bottom, and in the comments.

 

Here's the related video: http://boagworld.com/for_those_of_you_hard_of_humou/

Of course it's a p*** take, it's boagworld for christ's sake!

Lol, s'all good then, I feel stupid now.

Had me going for a fair while bit too

I was reading this the other day and LOLing at all the comments from people who thought it was real.

That is just to funny!

ROFLMFAO

 

I've gotta send this to some of my clients...

Rely on your gut instinct, not testing! hahahaha

LMAO, that's really funny!

"For those of you hard of humour" from the top of the post.

 

 

You must always use pantone colours! LMAO

Yeah,he was either the dumbest idiot I've seen in my lifespan or this was a joke

 

I know for a fact that sites built in flash can use any font you want. With that in mind I always recommend that sites are built entirely with Adobe Flash.

 

 

You can trust Microsoft not to break the web.

 

ROFL!!

isssa spoof, a joke and a very, very funny one at that.

 

Hahaa as soon as I saw this was from boagworld!

Weird, Marcus Lillington (the guy mentioned in the podcast box at the top) lives just down the road from me, I'm good friends with his daughter!! Didn't even realise he was a designer...

Haha! I dont think there was one thing in that video that I havent seen a clients attempt!

 

Mike

is this really that funny? clients will be reading this and taking it being ernest and proper. i know boag world is mainly for people building and running websites so hopefully we won't get waves of clients who have become crazed maniacs. if this had been done in ernest it wouldn't have supprised me if the internet itself had come alive and roasted the authers arse!

I <3 Boagworld =)
