Testing A Professional Website Before It Goes Live Really Is A Good Idea…

Unless of course you’re Elloras Cave.
I read over at Mrs Giggles’, that they’d had a make-over, so of course I went to have a nosy.
Well, I surfed in about six minutes ago, and I’m still waiting for the page to fully load.
Also, for some reason, the page URL is defaulting to Jasmine Jade Enterprises. According to Mrs Giggles, they may be trying to house EC, Lotus Circle, and Cerridwen Press all under one roof. I guess probably because Lotus and Cerridwen weren’t doing so great.
I like the new colours, but I’m hating the fact that there’s so much information on the home page. (Just re-checked the page, there’s just one item apparently left to load.) I’ve given myself a headache just trying to figure out what’s what.
I see that they have new and funky names for the different lines and sub-genres. Apparently ‘Aeon’ books are futuristic sci-fi. ‘Spectrum’ are gay and lesbian fiction, and ‘Moderne’ are contemps.
Surely keeping things simple would have been the best route to take? Changing the names to make them sound more interesting might seem like a good idea, but I’m guessing that most people would prefer a spade to be called a spade. I know I would.
Anyhoo, having just checked back, I’ve now got that yellow error thingy on the bottom left hand side of the page, so I guess it’s given up the ghost.
Balls to it, I have better things to do with my time. I’ll check back next week, by which time, EC should have ironed out the loading problems.
I bet their books are selling like hotcakes today. Not.
Sheesh.
