If you were with us last time, we were discussing the numbering of a product called Studio Enterprise by Component One.  I raised some concerns about their versioning scheme, stating that it likely would raise lots of confusion among their userbase.  This time, I’d like to focus on a splash page on their site that is advertising this product.  Again, let me make the disclaimer that I am not reviewing the product itself or making any claims about it being good or bad.  I’m simply using the advertising on their site as a lesson in web design.

Since there’s a good chance the page will eventually come down or change (as it is, after all, advertising a product labeled “2009″, and the last time I checked, we were well into the year 2010), here is a small screenshot of the splash page in question (if this link does eventually kick the metaphorical bucket, just imagine this image blown up to 960 pixels wide and 1050 pixels tall):
