Am I the only one who thinks "Responsive Web" sites, with their characteristic "Replace all meaningful information with wasted space, meaningless photos, and trite slogans in giant text", are an absolutely horrible design that do more to drive people away and trigger their "this looks like an ad, I'll subconsciously ignore it" instinct?
I dislike 'em, but survive if it is limited to the frontpage. Meaning: I desperately look for a sensible link in the visual mess of non-information. I also get the idea that they probably don't really have anything to offer and hired an ad company with an incompetent web designer to do it who arrived at the design by buying a premade page from some other's company's catalogue, then replaced the photos and charged a fortune for it... OR worse: that they are using a PHP-based CMS. Then I start to feel sorry for them and put all my skepticism aside for the benefit of the doubt and hope that I at least find a sensible pdf-file in there somewhere.
