"Restaurant sites are the product of restaurant culture," suggests Slate. "These nightmarish Wb sites were spawned by restaurateurs who mistakenly
believe they can control the online world the same way they lord over a restaurant." Suggests designer Eng San Kho: "People in restaurants have a sense that they want to create an entertainment
experience online -- that's why disco music starts, that's why Flash slideshows open."
It's no coincidence that designers make more money to create complicated, multipage Flash sites than one that tells you everything you want to know on one page.
