Dear EyeCare Providers of Seattle (and other small businesses)

I know the cool thing is to have a web presence. In fact, it's not just cool, it's practically de riguer in Today's WorldTM.

But I'll go you one further. It is absolutely imperative, expecially as Vision Professional, for your website not to feel like it's stabbing me in the eye when I visit it.



Like seriously, dude. Also, make sure you are including relevant information I am looking for. For example, your "Our Services" tab-thing should include information about your services. Not like this:



Like, "Your staff speaks English? Oh. Thanks, Help Cat!"

And, really, I don't have anything to say about this:



Look.

I'm not the be-all-end-all arbiter of what's awesome and stuff, but can you people not spend more than 5 minutes and $50 on your website?

It would be great to be able to go to an optometrist and not feel like they would accidentally blind me or wound my eye because they're high.

Thanks! :)

love,
mary

p.s. what about the people that haven't even bothered to make websites? what about them?

Scott Jameison, O.D. has been my eye doc for about 15 years at the Roosevelt Eye Clinic, and he's great. He has a fine sense of humor, is quite professional, and his English is excellent! Yeah, the website is weak.

Nice place you have here.

Hardly any businesses have websites here. It is like the internets do not exist at all. What am I supposed to do when I want take-out? I cannot keep track of paper menus...

This city sucks....I miss Seattle.
