Amen to that. If your visitors can't find the information 
they're looking for on your page - even when the 
information is there - then you've failed to meet your 
visitors' needs.

Here are two sites I use in my web development 
training classes:

http://www.integritytech.com/

http://www.unclaimedbaggage.com/

Although Integrity Tech's site has improved over the 
past two years, it still has a long ways to go IMHO.
