Website Visitors Are Not Criminals

In talking to several people whether it be on the phone or in passing I get to hear a lot of web ideas. I tend to hear comments like, “when a visitor comes on I want to be able to swipe their email” or “I will make this visitor go to the certain page”.

Please remember that visitors are not criminals and until we stop treating them as such our websites will not get much respect. Your site is there for the visitor and not vice versa.

Let’s together as the web design community try to encourage and teach our friends and clients that a site is built ultimately for the visitor.
