If You Do Not Have It, Don't List It

Some of you may have heard of the Nine Rules network. They consider themselves to be a very elite network of web content publishers. But I have to say that the Nine Rules need to be amended.

Stick this rule in somewhere, please: If You Do Not Have It, Don't List It!

Allow me to point to a Nine Rules site with a major design flaw. Its name is Your Elevator Pitch

Do you see the main menubar immediately under the website's logo? See the second item? What would you expect to have happen if you click that menu option? Well, try it. Click that menu item.

Was that what you expected to have happen?

Not every website needs to have a this feature. But if you do not have this feature then do not list this feature!

It may be that at some future date, this rant will be obsoleted by the website owner of Your Elevator Speech actually installing this feature. If so, you will just have to take my word for it, (unless the Wayback Machine, gets their first) that on Aug. 21st at 10:00am EDT, There was no search feature on that site.
