Splash pages

Friday, Jul 14, 2000

I've decided I'm against top-level splash pages. If you type in the URL to a site, you probably want information, not a flash intro. Unless, of course, it's pretty, or better yet, functional.

Actually, I can't wait until Gabocorp is back up.

Still, if a client tells you they must have a flash intro page, please try to confince them to cookie the user so they only have to see it their first time to the site.

If you like it, please share it.
