Amazon’s website hasn’t changed much in years. The extent of their services obviously has, but the website itself, not that I recall.
Powercity is stuck in 1996
Most Irish government websites.
Did electrical, at least it was last time I checked.
The Hogan Stand
Is it outdated? Or was it ahead of its time? Because I’ve never seen it function that well and I’ve always wondered…
PowerCity’s website looks like what a website would look like if it was having a nervous breakdown.
It’s actually quite functional and offers a lot of features, but the UI design is completely mental.
Argos has closed down many stores in Ireland. I wouldn’t care about how great a website is I would want to know do they have the product, good value etc
It’s a bit of a pattern for British businesses who have subsidiaries here in Ireland. The British websites get updated, but the Irish ones get stuck on an older version because they don’t care.
Tesco was similar, but they recently spruced it up a bit recently.
Argos have update the UK site but seemed to stop giving a shit about the Irish site.
They show one photo per item on the Irish site but if you go to the UK site, you’ll get multiple photos and a video.
Never mind about other issues like never having stuff in stock.
Their UK site is grand with a proper search. Use that to find the product that’s impossible to find in the Irish site, then copy the product code to Irish site to check stock.

Pornhu……… I mean rte. Definitely rte.
I miss the book.
I think the Harvey Norman site is run on a raspberry pi and was developed by a mentally challenged alcoholic.If you try to set some filters, it will reload the page automatically and also randomly remove other filters you previously set. Often the site will just time out. Same for the PCWorld site. Why the fuck can’t I set multiple filters and then click on an Apply button!?!
Was on the bus eireann site earlier today. Looks the exact same as years ago
I can confirm it has remained fundamentally the same since 2010, I wrote a stock checker for it where if scraped the website to check all stores in Ireland at once and the code for doing that still works.
I did the same thing for the UK site at one point and it broke within a few weeks.
Dublin Bus is exactly the same as it was in 2010 too.

Haha I sent them an email about this before the last “renovation” saying a bunch of monkeys could design a better site.
I got an email back saying if I keep it up there’ll be legal ramifications.
I then went on to work for them as a young lad during the last recession at Christmas. Come the time for them to make a decision on keeping me on it turns out I have an attitude problem. And they will be extending my trial period.
Well it turns out a good friend of mine had been on the scratch and made more than me in work. I had been spending a good bit of money on taxis to work and been noticing how they would only schedule a lot of us so that they didn’t have to pay us for a longer break time.
I said fuck this and gave my notice. There may come a time when you put in good work and receive nothing but bullshit back. It is most liberating to fuck it back at them and let them fix the problem that was never there.
It is an unfortunate lesson that all workers have to learn.
What even is Argos?
FK Performance is absolutely terrible, was looking for parts to modify my car and gave up on using them because the website is so, so bad.
Comically they don’t index their site so nothing shows up on Google listings, which is basically retail suicide. They could have rivaled Amazon in the UK/Ireland if they were bothered and offered free shipping etc.
The Bank of Ireland online banking site and app look like something a TY student threw together in a day long introduction to html and MS Front-page in 1998
All that space just in case someone still has a 1024×768 display.
Honestly think that most sites have not improved much since buying online became the norm. It’s much harder to find things. You have to know exactly what you’re looking for now.

The B&Q one is pretty bad

Fantastic online shop, fantastic online service, desperate website.
