Swiss Golf Network botches relaunch of web siteSubmitted by admin on Mon, 2009-03-30 18:20.
Swiss Golf Network (www.swissgolfnetwork.ch) seems to have overhauled their website - unfortunately, it turned out to be quite a mess. Parameters are not properly substituted (there are TXT_* placeholders everywhere), it took me ages to find out that they actually reset my password to the default 'abcd' (even though I have had a proper password on their site for years) - which, incidentally, means that you can login as pretty much anyone if you know their ASG number - and they want to charge you CHF 6.40 for sending you your password, what a joke. Granted, the old swissgolfnetwork site was not that fancy, but it was at least functional, this one is, welll - just terrible. They even throw uncaught errors: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c' Path not found /userteetimes.asp, line 640
Unbelievable. I'd love to know who implemented this piece of junk, or better yet, who signed off on it and allowed it to go productive. That just leaves one question: why did they not use professional developers and based the solution on a proven CMS environment like Drupal or Typo3 with the appropriate extensions? Or at least invested in some quality assurance? We'll probably never know... So many cowboys out there... |
