Here Doggie, Doggie!

Alright, here we go... so I will be the first to tell you that I didn't stumble on this one on my own. A good friend was actually kind enough (or not so kind enough) to send this along. How he stumbled upon this I have no idea, but I don't think he was trying to buy Komar Afghan Hound.

In any case we sit here finding our selves looking at this. Yep, I wasn't sure what to call it except this. Lets spend some time exploring the obvious here. This website didn't exactly take a long time to build. I image, a couple of links, and of course the every favorite "visitor counter" is on the bottom. As a designer I wonder how long this could take?

The dogs seem amazing, but to me the blue color is an odd choice. The gradient always gets to me too. At what point does any website owner stop and say hey, I really need to update these pages. How much should I invest and will be it worth my initial investment. Of course there are many variable to that questions, but at some point it has be asked.

What's Worse?

Did anyone create that app yet? Sorry, I couldn't resist. Have you noticed how many apps there actually are to purchase or try out these days? It is almost impossible to choose one without wanting at least 10 more. Gotta stay up with the trends, right?

Speaking of staying up with the trends... is it wrong to miss leg warmers. Sure, outdated fashion can be bad, but is it as bad as this. Surely not. Sorry, I can't help to continue to refer to this site. It makes me laugh and cry from seeing yellow spots at the same time.

Hmmm, what other out of place fashion can we relate to horrible websites. Is it worse to see shoulder pads built into a shirt or this? Would you rather see someone still rocking neon (mesh optional) or would you rather see this? Difficult to answer. We don't blame you.

I guess just like fashion, the worst of the worst is hard to ignore. Then again, why would you? It's hard not to look at an outfit gone wrong and it's even harder to ignore a website that is just plain ugly. Multiple colors and horrific background included.

Florida Is Not Looking Good From Here

I stumbled upon this gem during a recent search to find a hotel for my friend's bacherolette party. I heard Florida was supposed to be absolutely beautiful, but this website is making me thing different. Well, what do you think?!

Can I draw your attention to the overall layout? It seems that this page was poorly designed and only fits half of the page. Depending on the size of your monitor this may appear even stranger. Other main design flaws include the color choices, the odd layout of information, the text, and the extremely small and odd shaped graphic image.

The color choices don't do much for the layout. The warm color seem appropriate for a state with such warm weather, but the exact shades of the oranges and yellows do not work well with the greens and pinks.

On the plus side there is an abundance of information on this site. If you can look past the poor design and ugly layout you might be able to locate some of the information you require. I couldn't get past it, but I hope you can. If not, there are other sites out there that can help!
