selenayMy lovely father asked me to have a look at his company website two weeks ago and I finally got around to popping in.
Um.
Er.
He paid someone for that? ::shudder:: The site that I redesigned a couple of months ago was, admittedly, a little worse, but not a huge amount worse. This one, though, I wouldn't know where to begin with. The visual design isn't too bad, I guess, but the back-end...
It breaks if you resize it - good thing IE won't let you resize it. Except it's 10pt Arial (er, mostly, almost) and on larger monitors it needs to be resized. There is a pointless Flash animation on the resources page that has absolutely no relevance to the business. Tons of extra code that serves no point whatsover. And don't get me started on the incomprehensible scripts and IE's intense desire to start doing *something* every five seconds, except it doesn't know what it wants to do...
I didn't break the news gently. He knows me better than that :-) Hope he's not feeling too bad about having paid for that piece of crappy uselessness.
In other news, I have 15 Doctor Who icons (yay!) to be uploaded this weekend. And five recs. And I am going out for Thai food with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
