How not to build a website!! NHCLGL In the Cross-hairs!

One of the things I hate most are military websites.

I envision “Monkey’s” sitting behind a computer cranking out the site.

The 7 year old on the new WIN7 commercials could do better then the website at NHCLGL.

Why am I cranky?  Goto

and try to find out any information you can about receiving “IMMUNIZATIONS” at the clinic.  I.e what’s the process to get a flu shot, or the H1N1 shot.

I am trying to find out for my family but also for Dominamedicus (A user in our forums) who is about to leave to go to boot and wants to know if she should get the shot before reporting or receive it at RTC.

What you find is a complete utter lack of organization.  It honostly looks like it was made by “GEOCITIES”.

Naval Health Clinic Great Lakes

Let’s play a game. You go to the website, Click the link above. Try to find out any information on how to get your family the H1N1 vaccination or the regular flu shot. Instructions for dependent’s.

A side note, I used to be on staff at NHCLGL back when it was still a hospital.  I knew the fine folks who worked in the IT department.  They are understaffed and overworked. So I don’t necessarily blame them.  I would bet $10.00 a MSC Officer okay’ed this design.  Someone who doesn’t understand how to design a site and how folks will use it.

This has gotten under my craw for years.  From having someone run a IT department who was initially hired by the Navy to run a “PROJECTOR” but has worked his way up to the IT Dept head, who woudn’t know a piece of code it it were to hit him in the head.

ARRRRGHHHH!!!!!
I am off my soapbox now..

What do you think?
