Websites that Repel Customers SIRIUS Satellite Radio One would think that the main job of a website is to attract and lure in customers. If that is true, then the above website has failed because it has taught me in a few short minutes that if I want enjoyable satellite radio, I don't want to buy Sirius Radio. The site developer has gone overboard with Flash making the site more difficult to use. Sirius plays cute with hide-the-ball navigation. Try it yourself. See whether you can figure out where to login from just looking at the page and then try to use the navigation to see whether they have classical music without clicking - just from looking at the navigation. Hint - you have to want to listen to their brand of entertainment to find a login link. Try clicking on a music link and see whether you can find music from the 80s or 70s? Sorry that wasn't important to the site developer. From what I had heard, Sirius was supposed to offer commercial free radio so that you could just enjoy listening to your favorite tunes. What the site tells you is that you'll get nauseated with Howard Stern, strung out on Eminem's uncensored stuff, shot full of testosterone with sports (sorry ladies, this is something for brainless guys) and bored with a sophomoric demolition radio program. Somehow that does not equate to relaxing or enjoyable to me. The emphasis seems to be on uncensored bad language. Just listen to us and we'll serve up some real crap seems to be the message. Sorry I can't get serious about a radio service that dolls out excrement as a cheap substitute for the real stuff. I'll buy CDs or listen to a station that my wife can enjoy too. I guess I should thank the developers of the site - they saved me from spending money on something I can live without. Posted by WEBnME @ 1/08/2005 01:45:00 PM
