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 World^TM.

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?

Travel tip for later

SeaTac does indeed have a place to get a manicure on the way to your flight now. Butter London has opened up shop on the Charlie Concourse, so you can pick up a $20/20 minute manicure on your way to your gate — if you get there early and they haven't just started a pedicure that will take 40 minutes, that is. (Apparently they've had one on Concourse B for a while now, but I don't think I've ever flown out of the B gates.)

I used to top by the Butter kiosk at the Southcenter mall on Friday afternoons after work when it was $15/15 minutes and I was able to get double-punches on my card for being a mall employee. Whoo.

You know, sometimes, it is the little things.

I do wish there was a quick/cheap mani place close by here so I could enjoy pretty hands for the weekend at the least, but that's just me being spoiled.
