Tina | If a company had several misspelled words on their website would you think they were unprofessional? |
I attended a rehab center awhile back and I was recently reading their website. They have so many mispelled words! They frequently spell "opportunity" as "oppurtunity" and "their" as "thier". There are also several other instances throughout the website, especially on the home page. Should I send them an email to alert them? Shouldn't a companies website be free or errors?
Additional Details
Thanks for all the insight. Actually, I realized that these typos will have absolutely no affect on business because they ONLY take court-mandated people. The people are mandated to go to that specific rehab, and will go to jail if they do not. So I don't think some typos will stop them from going. On another note, it just seems like a monopoly on rehab when that company automatically gets ALL the court-mandated people? This rehab does not need to worry about attracting customers since the customers are FORCED to go there. |

Web sites are much more difficult to proofread than printed documents.
Normaly only one person is assigned to write it and no proofreading. Really good proofreading requires 2 people, one reading out loud to the other while the other follows by reading. This is almost impossible with web sites. The other issue is that one would have to go through every link, and check them all.
Spelling checkers will only find some errors, but not words that are spelt like another word. There, their and they're are all correct spellings, just like soar and sore.
One or 2 typos is meaningless, but many spelling and grammar errors is sometimes indicative of a foreign scam.
Unless of course, the site is designed to have as many different ways to spell words as possible. |

A company's website should definitely be free from error. With multiple errors such as you describe, some site readers may think that the site is not genuine. Not only should you alert the rehab center, but they should also penalize their site designer for these obvious errors.
I'd find such a situation embarrassing, were I them. |

You answered your own question.
It doesn't matter if they are professional or not, they have a line of customers that have to attend.
I would bet if you did some digging you will find your judge sits on their board of directors (and gets paid) and that this company donates huge amounts of money to the judge and other elected officials to keep on the dole.
Just one more example of our corrupted justice system. |

Any company that publishes a website without proofing it, it's the sort of company I'd trust to do business with.
Why?
- It shows that they couldn't afford to pay a professional web designer.
- It shows they lack attention to detail.
On another note, we're all human and mistakes do happen. One typo is one thing, but several typos is a major red flag for me.
I typically even refuse to do business with a company that has a website that's totally pathetic and looks like it was designed by a 14 year old. It makes me question their how legit they are. |

Lexi, I don't know that I'd do anything about it, but it certainly makes a business seem totally unprofessional to me when I see multiple spelling errors on its website.
If you feel this rehab center did right by you, sure, let them know. Odds are the interface between web designer and content provider was poor, each assuming the other would clean up bad copy. |

If I read something like that I would give the company a wide berth! If they can't even spell correctly what else are they capable of messing up? I would not bother telling them of the errors because at least people reading the companys' website can judge for themselves whether or not to trust them. Happy New Year, hope all goes well for you.
NOTE: Nick, it is NOT company's it is companys' as in 'belonging to' not as in 'company has'. Has the whole world forgotten the correct use of the apostrophe? |

Overall, fairly indicative of the level of intelligence, education, and professionalism required to cash in on the multi-billion dollar cash cow of drug/alcohol re-hab in this country. |

It doesn't matter whether the rehab has a captive audience. Any company's website should be as free of spelling and grammatical mistakes as possible. (And, yes, it is 's, not s')
A website should be treated the same as any other promotional material because it is promotional material. There is no reason at all why a second person could not have reviewed the text for errors. Not to do so is unprofessional, and in my opinion, careless.
If you want to send an e-mail telling them about their mistakes, do so. I'm just not sure you should expect to see any changes out of it. |

If there was only one error, I might think, "oops, someone made a typo," but if there are several errors, I would definately wonder about the business.
Yes, I think I would email the webmaster to notify them of the errors. You might also want to CC someone at the business (a director or manager, maybe?) so they can reconsider who they have working on the website to begin with. |

mispelled = misspelled
companies = company's
Homepage is generally accepted as one word.
or = of? |

Precisely, you should tell about their errors. In fact, it is Rehab Center, a place where they have to correct people by eliminating addictions. It is supposed to do their job to their addiction,too. And I bet their addiction is typing mispelled words. :D
As a business, they should make an impressions to the potential clients and customers starting on their words they are using. :D |
