Hesperis, the problem of bouncing around in the same circle and not getting forrarder is prevalent in a number of websites. I found it impossible to get out of the circle in a couple of merchandizing sites and ended up buying elsewhere. Always get some novice to check over the website and see if they can navigate through it.
In making changes, sometimes things get overlooked. A friend of mine had his paid website designer update his site with his new Email address on his first page but the designer missed a similar clickie on the second page where he had the pricing. He had been wondering why inquiries had dropped off.
Sometimes the content of a particular clicky is removed or revised and "page not found" comes up. I have encountered three such websites today and find them frustrating.
And oh, yes, I would like to see geocities go broke.
