Site Owners & Site Developers: Avoid Website Suckage!
"You can't see the forest for the trees."
One must get out of the forest to see it, because while you are in the forest, you only see the trees that comprise the forest; you cannot see the forest as a whole. When you are focusing on details, it is very difficult or impossible to see any issue as a whole, as you can only see the details that comprise the issue.
Before you launch your new website, or another visitor is distracted by a flaw in your existing website, it is a essential to have someone who is completely disconnected from the development process take a good hard look at everything and make constructive comments and suggestions.
You have worked hard and invested a lot of money to present your products and services on the Internet. Protect this investment and avoid having visitors distracted by noticeable flaws by having your site thoroughly evaluated by a real live human test subject trained to spot code breaks and site flaws both large and small.
