Dear Mr or Ms Fancy-Pants Architect:

I'm sure you think your site is just lovely. The flash is certainly spectacular, even if this means I have to use a screenshot to capture any examples of your work. (And you thought you'd managed to avoid that, how little you know of technology and determined visitors.) But I really must ask: is it absolutely necessary that you have an entrance page, and clicking that link (after hitting "skip intro" six times) must then open a new smaller window, and any links within those then open additional windows, and so on?

It really doesn't speak for your ability to conserve -- let alone recognize the use of space -- if you bloody well insist on taking up the entirety of my computer screen with your bazillion pop-up windows.

Not impressed,
me

Wasteful, extravegant, and frustrating. A lovely way of making a first impression.

Your icon made it all worthwhile and I didn't even experience Fancy-Pants.com

Oh gawd, yes. It's all about that architect ego - that deep-seated need to Leave One's Mark Upon The World. I can't tell you how many screams of frutration I had to swallow when the Overlords kept giving me links to other architect's site and the vague request to do "something along these lines, but not as much". The brain throbs just thinking about it.
