About Us

Most Web site About Us pages (or sections) seem designed to do two things:

  1. Offend no one.
  2. Create the appearance that anything is within the realm of possibility for the site owner.
That's why About Us pages are almost always insufferably bad. Not to mention useless.

At AListApart.com, Erin Kissane goes into great detail about the various kinds of bad About Us pages, and offers some helpful advice.
