I was looking for an adjustable 4 hole punch today so I thought I'd quickly pop onto Staples' website thinking they might have one I can buy and then I was faced with this monstrosity:

Crazy-ness

I know they've got a large product catalogue to share but why make it hard for me? Where's the search box I ask you! I actually had to think to find what I suspect is the most useful thing on their site.

Why make the user think? Make the search box BIG bright and bold so I don't need to think about where to find what I'm after.

 

Don't forget to follow me on Twitter.
