Shadow Poll #6 - Results

I left this one up for a while longer than usual in order to get as wide a range of opinions as possible. While it didn't spark too many comments, I did get a fair amount of emails.

24 out of 28 people gave the Windsor and Essex County Visitors and Convention Bureau website a grade of 5 out of 10 or less. In terms of "branding" for the City of Windsor, this is not very good.

The site is so outdated it's painful. Microsoft Frontpage code, scrolling galore, no keywords, most of the content is displayed in frames which prevents linking to pages other than the homepage. To borrow a phrase from Ronco, the website looks like a "set it and forget" site.

I posted a few sites for comparison before and I'll list them again. We're not even in the same league let alone the same ballpark.
