strung together this:

Only if you use Microsoft Internet Explorer - otherwise it is no more
than a set of "error" pages. I try not to buy from companies that don't
understand enough about computers to not swallow the flash sales patter
of a poor web design house - if they are that technically incompetent
then how long before I discover that thier product is not safe with "my
type of wire" or "my shape of screwdriver".

Not really, the people at WAGO know about connecting wires together.
They don't know anything about web design, they ask someone who
proffesses they do who in actuality don't. I have to say I'm not
impressed with flash sites but it doesn't make their product any less.
It's like someone coming on this group and asking a question and
receiving a reply from IMM, a uk.d-i-y virgin doesn't know anything
about his stupidity but can only asssume that because he says he knows
what he's on about that he does, when he doesn't.

Yes but anyone with a some sense does a bit more than just call in
the first company that offers itself to get a job done. In general
good business people will get a feel for the quality (or otherwise) of
a service they're being offered. In addition most will have a
'grapevine' of friends and acquaintances who they will ask for advice
and recommendations.

The quality of a company's advertising (which is what a web site is)
and its other 'visible' facets *does* reflect on that company.
