Nice Kicks, Bad Clicks
Today I saw a link for a site claiming to have the Top 100 Sneakers of 2000, and I was excited but in the end I was treated to the worst user experience I have had in a while..
Each shoe was presented on its own page, with no way of navigating to the other 99 aside from an arrow forward or back. What?!1
No thumbnail previews of the next one.
No listing of shoes by name.
No visual way to browse.
No nothing. Just blind clicking on the arrows, or randomly clicking on numbers.
If this was a top 10 list I might let it slide, but for 100 pages? No thank you. I made it through 3 pages before getting frustrating and leaving.. and I really like nice kicks.
Lesson for today, make your links meaningful and thinking about your users.
