Point 1 is a constantly debated issue it seems. The details you need to enter into a site to make a purchase (name, address, email etc etc) are pretty much the same (with the only addition being a password) as the details you would enter to create an account.

We have an account creation, but it works as being a sort of by-product of the purchasing steps.

Disabling right click is completely pointless. Print screen, paste & save; wow, that was really hard to bypass! Nothing is accomplished by disabling this function, except ruining the browsing experience. Your visitors would conclude that your site is a pile of crap, and they would be right. NEVER disable right click.

Ugh, I have to agree with the image verification. I have 20/10 eyesight and I’ve failed to get through some of them. The worst is when you’re required to verify the image to search a website. In all honesty, if your system is so poorly designed that your visitors have to verify every time a form is submitted, you need to hang it up and go open a restaurant or something.

you missed off image verification this at the moment puts me off a site more than anything, ukreg.com’s for example is mind numbling useless, it can take so many goes you start to doubt you ability to recognise letters

1 i totally agree with, if you MUST make people sign up, make sure they know exactly what for. The amount of purchases ive backed down because ive had to make yet another account just to buy one item once from them is unreal, its time consuming and worst of all gives the impression that shipping is going to be completely overpriced once you have signed up

whilst disable right click is bad, i think you over estimate just how many people know what prt scr does or how to use it properly – the ratio of people who know that to people who know right click > save image is quite tiny in my experience, more often than not i have to explain to people what it is

Yeah, the “disable right click” is a total waste. I just view the source code and get the image url instead. Easy download.

[...] Taking a step away from my previous post critisizing the use of Ajax and other dynamic website features, Ajax does have uses in business and other website designs. Ajax has an ability to simplify a user’s experience on a website when used properly. It ‘can’ provide very user friendly interfaces that work smoothly, quickly, and better than traditional programming. [...]
