Something really, really annoying about this site: it uses automatically-progressing carousels that cause content reflow below them in the page. I encounter this sort of thing so often, and it’s really, really bad. Positively awful. Super disconcerting. In most cases like this, it’s just that one slide is longer than the others. In this case, there are a couple like that, but also for the rest, image tags have been used without specifying their dimensions, so they take up no space as the carousel slide enters, and then once the image starts loading they reflow instantaneously as the dimenions are known. Please, if you have a carousel, you must make sure that its height never changes as it progresses. (And please always put width and height on your images, too, so the intrinsic aspect ratio can be applied properly.) Oh, and auto-progressing carousels as a whole are a blight, but a sometimes-just-barely-tolerable one. So long as they’ll just stop progressing once I interact with them! Please! Does anyone like carousels? I encounter software developers railing against them, I encounter normal people railing against them (from recently, a non-techie had one request about a new site, that the carousel inserted by the developer of the prototype—because it was a part of the WordPress theme used—be removed), I honestly can’t think of having encountered a single person that likes carousels. They’re just all-round irritating. |
