I am a huge music fan and watch a lot of videos, from many categories and country music is one of my favorites. That means I watch CMT a lot – and visit CMT.com quite frequently.
Unfortunately, whoever is in charge of their web design is smoking crack – or something….
Take a look at this page:
As a consumer, I am mostly thinking that I'd like to see music videos, when I click on the "music video" page. The above is what I get.
To make things even more confusing, the pictures you see are mostly related to nothing regarding the actual people in the pictures. These are categories – not actual individual music videos.
Which is the whole point to me wasting your time.
If you can't show people what they are actually going to get when they click on a link, or a picture, then why the heck are you even showing it to us? To make matters even worse, even some of their pictures and other links don't actually take you to the song or video in question. They take you to a general "artist" page where you get to select the link yet again…
Note to self, Mr./Ms. Web Designer: Bad thing. Don't do it.
Show people what they expect. Deliver on that expectation, and I think most people will be happy.
PS. The previous site design actually showed music videos on this page…
They say as you get older, that most people loose the hair on their head ( especially men ). Well, I can tell you for sure that you don't actually loose it, at least I don't. It get's misplaced.
Half of my missing hair ended up on my bathroom floor, the remainder magically migrated to my back.
