I saw an ad for a webdesign company but I have my doubts about the url. The name was "web one", nothing wrong with that. The url is webone.be or am I the only one who finds it funny :) Probably am. It's friday...
the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it
:thumbsup: I need a little humor after my latest dealing with a webdesign company. The Sr. partner decided our company website needed a new look...something 'modern'. :| Until then, all website maintenance/design was my responsibility...but I'm apparently no designer, so the partner knew of a guy who had just started a webdesign/marketing outfit. 6 months later, I'm learning how to use WordPress to edit every single hyperlink to relative. I had given him a sub-domain to build it (as he didn't have his own resources). I had expected to be handed a completed finished package for deployment, but apparently I don't know how these things work. Anyway, the plan from the beginning was to build it under a sub-domain, then simply switch the default website on the server when it was ready. This was why I wasted the effort emphasizing that all links should be relative. Yeah, it worked just fine for the demo and I'm sure the guy already got paid. I knew upfront that I would be the one maintaining it. :sigh: This doesn't even begin to deal with the horrible design...huge background images and huge fonts. The main landing page shows a menu, one headline and a short blurb until scrolled. I suppose you could say it's a very minimalistic approach emphasizing the use of bright colors/background images, large fonts, and some weird scrolling effects and banners. :| But wait there's more...in order to provide consistency, new content must be created using a proprietary WordPress theme builder.

My old ISP was named WebOne but I always called it we-bone.

Wow, I didn't get the joke until after reading this reply and checking back on the original. I thought it was a far fetched joke on sounding like web onebe (sounds like: web wannabe) :doh:

Kid sex change wouldn't be so unthinkable these days. It happens :~ On the other hand, I'm not sure what a kids exchange would be. Is that like a trading platform for kids? :omg: That wouldn't be so weird either, I've often heard people say "You want kids? You can have mine, I haven't slept for days" :laugh:

I don't understand the name either. It seems to be a kids clothing company. It was just one of a list of "funny domain names" mentioned on an episode of QI.

That is why we put the dashes in our domain name: s-and-d-acres.farm It makes the interpretation clear.

Until you run into the (increasingly rare, thankfully) email address field that rejects dashes! :)

It is far more common to run into an email address field that does not accept anything other than the old stand-bys: .com, .org, .gov, .mil and so forth. :(
