Don't feel bad, Terry. TVW's site needs a LOT of work:

Since you've given me an entree, I'm not gonna mince words.

Frankly, TVW's site is terrible. First, due to a high concentration of ugly, high-overhead graphics, the home page loads very slowly. Second, the layout is uninviting, cluttered and counter-intuitive; thus, it's hard to navigate. Even the logo is useless. Reminds us of what, a '57 Edsel? TVW's whole Web site experience is two years out of date.

It's one thing for BCST to joke that its Web site is amateurish (it's not awful, but certainly not state-of-the-art), quite another for TVW to fail to create a classy and engaging environment to accompany its bold new metaphor. RNWK's new Realguide is more like it...

realguide.real.com

So we're hoping that Dave G. and Lisa A. aren't offended by our grandstanding and find their way to a cutting edge Web design shop (as maybe they have with PR?). TVW must establish leadership all the way around, and do so now.

BAM

P.S. A fellow AXC shareholder and poster (who shall remain nameless) has encouraged me to offer this compelling "before" picture to focus us on the power of design evolution.
