Speedyhunter Blog Launched!

If you like simplicity in web design and prefer not being distracted by "clutter", this blog is for you. Tired of too many pop-ups, automated audio/video downloads and "banner" sites? Here, web design for function and minimal use of images is emphasized.

SpeedyHunter is a new web search site that helps you find what you are looking for faster and with fewer mouse clicks. For commonly searched terms, you have a field of fixed keywords to choose and click without having to type anything. With the rise of small devices with Internet access, it is a helpful service to provide simple text lists so that fewer steps are required to access desired products and services on the web. AllMenus.com is an excellent example of this concept put into practice. When placing orders for food at a restaurant within your area, wouldn't it be great to just point and click to activate the phone number. Excessive images, automated pop-ups and scripts impede the process of website downloading and browsing and simply add to precious bandwidth.

Please take a moment to browse through SpeedyHunter. The main page features three types of links: Other Sites, Catalogs and Direct Links. Other sites is other similarly-themed websites that list companies as a simple directory reference. Catalogs are lists of products in a simple text-based list of products and links, mostly in product name order. One can use a browser search function to find specific items in the larger lists. Full details and a means to purchase the product appear upon clicking the link next to the product. The direct links are straight to the product being offered.

If you find this web design idea useful, please save SpeedyHunter.com to your desktop or your favorites folder. The next time you need to find a gift fast or seek resources to help you manage your business, let Speedyhunter help you find it fast without annoying distractions.
