Welcome to Technicalconsultants website.

As an instructor, I also attend training courses online and am dismayed that they fail my initial tests. What website and content creators fail to grasp is that everyone is not the same. Their browsing experience is different to the next person. Their circumstances are different, not everyone has fast unblocked gigabit speed internet. The soul of technical implementation has been lost by this business-centrist approach to anything. No one gives a hoot, they did their bit then moved on after collecting the payment. This leaves an internet full of badly designed sites run by muppets.

It saddens me when the basics of any site are missing especially: Navigation buttons that actually work and are not hidden off screen. Awful fonts, wasted space, adverts (don’t get me started on adverts – I have PiHole and it removes all adverts and replaces them with white space/placeholders – then when yosee a page, it has a paragraph of badly punctuated text and the rest of the white space was taken up by adverts and misleading links. I just browse elsewhere after dropping an email to the writers shaming them on the poor website experience. Most don’t reply, they don’t care, they did their bit of writing the site and passed it over to their customer, who doesn’t know how to use it or manage it. Those that do have the petty excuse that the adverts pay for the running of the site. What utter rubbish. I pay a reasonable amount to run 2 websites with a very generous amount of space and visitor allowances. I have no and will not allow ANY adverts. You are visiting the site for my content not for stupid cookie pop-ups or silly adverts. That is why there is NO cookie pop ups, because I don’t care about cookies, I clear mine after leaving every page and session. Done.

So the object is to educate designers, writers, instructors and students, you need to push back. If the site is badly designed, push back. Screenshot every error. Tell them that it is unacceptable, make the point that not everyone is using the same setup as they are. Websites need to be able to be interacted with on any device, on any browser in any mode. No one should be losing history and information because poorly educated, script reading muppets say the same thing, have you cleared the cache? NO ! Have you tried a different browser? NO ! I am on a corporate system with managed preferences and settings. The browser is fixed, the firewall and portals are fixed, the problem is YOU and your poorly written website. If I can access my bank, then the browser is working satisfactorily – your site isn’t. So go away and fix it, then thoroughly test it before expecting me to use it.

So this site is for me to produce and practice at building a proper learning environment with a simple testing area. This also serves as a test for the so-called free themes and plugins. I will hack and change them so I can get rid of any blog formatting as its not a blog. I want Navigation to be BIG and BOLD and work, I want the browser’s in-built buttons to work. I do not want resubmit form popups to appear. If this cannot be achieved then its time to go back to writing a website that can. For example, look at BIG sites like BBC or Amazon or eBay, they can manage it.

End of rant, enjoy the site and NO, there are no silly feedback forms and never will.
