But probably not a difficult fix. Websites can be updated.

    Which is why I’m providing feedback. I really want this to work.

    People who produce bad design like that, are often resistant to change.

    Or they might welcome assistance from someone who knows how to do it, since their expertise is in farming and they don't have a lot of money for web design. Such assistance could possibly qualify as a tax-deductible donation.

    As a software developer making enterprise software, that simply isn’t true.

    I have been responsible for making some pretty poor design choices and UX flows. I was never resistant to change and more just needed someone to say hey bro that’s dumb, I don’t why don’t we do it like this.

    Now I know how to do X and won’t make the same mistakes again.

    I've worked in IT for over 30 years. I have come across a lot of people who design terrible UIs and get all pissy when you suggest any improvements. I didn't in any way want to imply that everybody is like that.

    Thanks for coming back to reply. First I want to say that the downvotes you’ve received have been unnecessary imo and I think I should have added that my original comment was in my experience and purely anecdotal.

    I guess it all depends on the person and whether they see constructive criticism as… well constructive or whether they see it as a slight against them. Like in any industry really.

    I second this - though I agree that it definitely isn't universal. Especially given that I'm exactly the opposite - I welcome critique and improvements to anything I write because I love learning and improving.
