Speaking as a customer, I'm not looking for "unique and inventive" web
design when I'm doing my online shopping. I'm a web geek, and I'm not
against such things in general. I enjoy many entertainment, music, comics
and "concept" sites that are loaded with stuff like that - indeed, being
entertained by a unique and inventive design is sometimes the point of an
entire site.
But the point of a shopping site is different. A shopping site should be
concerned with making it as easy as possible for the customer to find what
they want and spend their money. The goal of *your* shopping site appears
to be just the opposite, to make it as difficult as possible.
So tell me - as a customer, what motivation do I have to enable VirusScript,
wait for minutes for each of your pages to load, and turn off my preferred
music, just for the privilege of shopping at your site? Why shouldn't I just
go to Amazon.com instead, which loads quickly, works without VirusScript,
and remains blissfully silent?
