an example of bad web design — Requiring Javascript

Assess­ment

This might be someone's home site, but you can only tell with Javascript turned on. You actually get completely different content, not merely the same content with some features missing.

  • It's a giant, single-cell <table> with a fixed width.

  • I find the title too long/detailed. Couldn't most of that be in the page description?

I shan't be staying here long.


Update! — 2008-09-07 — Now we get a working redirection to the actual home page, which itself is quite decent! There are lesser problems such as a reduced font size, and a width-hungry (well, peckish) two-column layout which the Web isn't ready for yet, but it's basically usable now. The distinction between title and description is also much better.
