Word To Webmasters/IT Folks

If you plan to do a major site overhaul (changing domain name, software, formatting, colours, functionality, etc.) YOU NEED TO BETA TEST. There is a site I once frequented, often checking it 5-6 times a day. Last week Tuesday they “improved” the site. It no longer works, not even a little. Everything that could possibly be screwed up is, and the “new and improved” features are non-functioning. Please…if you insist on fixing something that isn’t broken, for the sake of your thousands of customers worldwide, PLEASE…beta test. We all know these things can be a logistical nightmare and bugs crop up where you least expect them, but my understanding of beta testing is to discover those bugs that will crop up in everyday normal use and fix them before going public. Don’t just change your logo and add “beta” underneath the name and assume that means all will be forgiven. Especially not for eight days and counting.
