How to kill a sale quickly with your website

So I’m looking at a major ecommerce site redevelopment - it’s probably too big for me, so I ask for recommendations.

I call Rand in Seattle, and mentions a couple of people.

I check out one in London.

It’s a webdesign and development company. Only they’ve got some kind of spyware-esque link ads running all through their website copy.

Even the word “contact” inviting contact has a link under it to another company.

I get spooked - even clicking the “what’s this?” link I don’t trust it, and load up my own site, just to see if I’ve been infected with something.

Making your business website appear infected with spyware is a great way to kill the sale, even if your name is already sold.
