      1. As someone who designs websites for a living, I’m kind of like.

        “How could you miss that…?” This is obviously from the designer who did the website and not from him or his supporters. But what gets me is the person who was in charge of maintaining the website actually messed up hard by not editing the text to say the proper message. The splash page is what you run into first. So that should be the first thing out of the way.

        I’m surprised nobody noticed this until people outside of the GOP pointed it out and were like “Yo.” Do they not check their own websites or proof read it?

        1. So, who designed the website? At the bottom of the homepage it says ‘an openbox project’ but clicking on it gets me a 404 error message.
          I accept your explanation about designer responsibility for this, but the designer him/her/itself sounds callous; there are more professional ways to prepare something for customer review and final editing. Who or what would present that to a customer in the first place?
          And as an aside, who are those smiling Officer Friendlies, providing an in-uniform photo endorsement of Candidate Schimel?

          1. I’m one to to throw stones because sometimes I put in goofy placeholder text (not like that but sometimes it’s silly) but the difference is I delete it before I send it like that because it’s unprofessional and can get you fired.

            I’m not sure who designed the website, but as someone who often does websites (big ones too) I often don’t get the information to put in the website and I’m only told to design the layout and nothing more. I wouldn’t even say it’s the responsibility of the web designer who made it but the responsibility of the current owner of the site (which would the person whoever is working with the GOP Attorney General Candidate) to fill it in and regularly update it.

            Often times I put placeholder text to tell the people “all right say what you need to say here thanking others in your own words.” or along those lines on a page. What gets me is not the fact there is a ‘blah blah blah’ but the fact the GOP/Brad Schimel didn’t go to check if they fixed that splash page and the fact it stayed that way for so long until pointed out by the liberal blogosphere. How many people saw that page and didn’t say a word before that? This is why you should proof read. It’s like – ‘yo check this before you put it up.’ It’s embarrassing. You can check your website before you put it online so there’s really no excuse.
