Recently a new web design company asked those on the boards.ie Webmaster forum to review their website. It was a bloodbath.
The thread started off without a link to the site. As soon as that was rectified the massacre started. The site is so bad that some thought it was a joke.
Are you tired of being quoted ridiculous for the design of a site. Nowadays, with the cost of internet access getting cheaper, it’s of the utmost imporance that a company have it’s own web page(s) presence.
That’s where we come in! Here @ WebPagesIreland, we have many years of combined experience to help you achieve a web page that’s Quality, Ingenuity, Ubiquity, & Design.
Tired of being quoted ridiculous what? “imporance” is spelt wrong. “it’s” should be “its”. “page(s)” should be omitted. The guy in the photo on the site looks sleazy.
TempErory
I would have thought that these signs would be standard enough and easily ordered from the likes of Rennicks, though I didn’t see this type there, and I’m not sure I’d fully trust Rennicks would spot the typo either. It all reminds me of the Irish Pride bread ad where they joke that the road works guy has no pride in his work.
Where is the E?
After finally tracking the micro hi-fi down I was looking at the back of the receipt. It talks about delivery times. And then they go any have a nice typo. They even put the text in italics to highlight it. People may not have realised it at the time but The Shamen were quite wise when they told us that Es are good.
In a recent thread on boards.ie someone asked how to get to Stadium Business Park. The 40D and 220 routes were quickly suggested. I checked the Dublin Bus A-Z Finder to see if it had other suggestions. The 220 route was the only one listed as serving the Stadium Industrial Estate.
I emailed Dublin Bus to mention the omission and incorrect name. I pointed out that Fingal County Council’s web site called the place Stadium Business Park as did the host of a useful area map.
Much to my surprise they replied saying that the Ordnance Survey maps, on which the A-Z list is based, use Industrial Estate, but they added a Stadium Business Park entry and added 40D to the list of routes serving the location!
After reading the reply and verifying what it said, I stood up and was knocked over by a gentle breeze that came in the window (I was working from home). I’m not used to emails to Dublin Bus (or anyone in the CIE Group) replying to my emails and certainly not used to anything being changed as a result of my requests. Thanks Ruth!
In an high density estate near me is a car with a corny bumper sticker on the rear bumper. It has a pathetic typo. Equally bad is the probable Irish-American source of the thing. Some might find the leprechaun image offensive, I think it’s pathetic.
Rippened (sic) tomatoes
I wonder how many of these stickers Tesco has already printed and how long it will be before a corrected version appears. That’s if they answer my email.
I phoned in and an Indian take away order from Let’s Eat In over the weekend. Mmm, their Dal Makhani dish (black beans in a dark creamy sauce) is excellent.
The take away came with a copy of their new menu – without Dal Makhani! I went online to investigate. I was met with a horrible fixed font – Courier New. And, three nice typos:
We are not taking online order for Blanchardstown branch untill next week.
Sorry for inconvinience
Maybe that’s the phonetical spelling for people in Blanch. BTW, the correct spellings are orders, until and (the) inconvenience.
Monday afternoon: “Our valued customers from Blanchardstown can order online now.”
This morning I got my car NCT'd (and passed). On the inside of the door of the men's toilet was a conspiracy theory about NCT failures and the state of Irish roads.
