They recently launched their electric car the 'Joule'. Except when I clicked through to the <a href="http://www.optimalenergy.co.za">optimal energy</a> site it <a href="http://coda.co.za">looked awfully familiar</a>. Apparently <a href="http://coda.co.za/blog/2008/10/09/clickthinking-what-were-you-thinking">this didn't escape Damien Du Toit</a> (the owner of the coda identity). Apparently the background image is a direct copy paste probably even ends up as the same hash.</p> <p>It is completely despicable, unethical, immoral. I am sure optimal energy are unaware of what <a href="http://www.clickthinking.co.za">ClickThinking</a> did, but I hope they get wind of it. </p> <p>I suppose it should be unsurprising that ClickThinking also uses javascript to add onclick events to their 'navbar' made of div's, instead of, I dunno, anchors? Is HTML still HTML if you don't actually make use of anchors?</p> <p><ins datetime="00SAST">UPDATE: Based on the comments below and re-reading the above paragraph, I realise it is not clear that when I rip into the JS menu I am talking about the JS menu on <a href="http://www.clickthinking.co.za">ClickThinking</a>, not the menu on <a href="http://www.optimalenergy.co.za">Optimal Energy</a> site</ins></p> <p><ins datetime="00SAST">UPDATE: Changed the title of the post to be less venomous. Was "Do not use the services of ClickThinking".</ins></p> http://www.whijo.net/blog/brad/2008/10/09/bad-move-clickthinking.html#comments bad web company bad web design ClickThinking ethics geek web design web developement web development Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:30:40 +0200 brad 453 at http://www.whijo.net
