Reality TV? Have to love it and it’s become a sensation these past few years. They have taken everyday life situations, good, bad, crazy and turned them into half hour episodes that people become addicted to.
Hoarding
is seriously a tough thing, and it's not just those featured on the show, even everyday life can get caught up in it. I have noticed in Asia it’s also part of the culture to keep every box and bag when a new item arrives in. The excuse is “You need it for the warranty” but hello, that’s usually for 12 months. So why do highly valuable space get taken up by boxes of the black and white TV arrived in 1973? Shoe boxes that remain long after the things had been fixed and glued a few times?
Yes, hoarding can be so bad it’s worth 30 minutes of prime-time Cable TV. It can be the dusty old boxes in the house that fall on your head every time you open up the wardrobe. Some bad enough to send you the building on the hill and therapy. Others just drive the family crazy.
Yep, when TheCamel.co™
gets a new brief to build a brand spanking new super sexy website
, to replace the old one that was built when that black and white TV was delivered, the hoarding syndrome can appear.
The brief will show the old site has enough pages to make Wikipedia jealous and the site owner will always say, “Yep, need to cut those 500 pages down a little”, that’s when the problem starts, and hoarding
can set in.
Blogs from 1985, reviews for 2001, testimonies potentially from Moses, owner bios that include things they did in kindergarten up until the present day, pages and pages of hoarded information that when you challenge the site owner they will scream, “But somebody might read it”.
...and if they do?
Take all that information and place it in a PDF vault that you can give them access to if they send you an email address.
Not only will people not read it, those big fat old pages will slow your site down to a snail pace and then Google won’t read it either.
Yes, the Twitter age has changed the consumer mentality, those hypo active little consumer treasures need their information fill in 280 characters or less, it has to be in their face or in a one finger swipe, or a button push, and they are not interested in what you did after your relatives got off Noah’s boat!
Websites can't be accessibility compliant without sacrificing design, interactivity and general user experience for visitors without disabilities. That’s where Dopa comes in. They offer reference articles about compulsive hoarding and other important psychology topics for those with serious eyesight, motor coordination, and cognitive disabilities.
TheCamel.co™
will be happy to help and advise on how we can put your old site on weight watchers and trim it down. You, your customers, and Google will be happy, and you can buy a bigger TV, but? Throw away the box.
