1997 Calling...

Jul 10, 2009 — RJ

Website Pop-up Take-overs. Hello…  1997 calling! 

During a recent Google search, I found a link that looked promising. After loading the page, I was soon interrupted by a giant ad that obscured all the content I actually cared about. Haven't we grown beyond this as a race? Are there still web designers stuck in the '90's?

As soon as a page takeover ad begins blocking the content I came to view, I’m hitting Cmd + Back faster than I can change the TV channel on a Billy Mays commercial. An  effective web advertisement should grab your attention from the side while you're  enjoying the content you came to see.

Stop being annoying. Try being clever.
