An acquaintance asked me to comment on the following website.

This friend has paid good money to a "web designer" (sic) for this and in my opinion she's been completely ripped off.

LINK DELETED

Dialup users beware because the useless "web designer" has chucked a 3 megabyte image on the index page, the idiot.

I think this could possibly be the worst website I've ever seen.

Edit: Due to complaints from the web site owner this and other posts throughout the thread have been edited / censored. Sorry folks.

The 3 meg image is a joke.

Yikes! That makes me feel better about some of the sites i've done! (and i'm not a web designer!)


It looks like a "home made" site rather than a professional one.

But it's been done in Netobjects so it must be professional.

Note : If it was professional he would have removed the logo of simple tool he used to make the site.

Nice cushions though..

They didn't. It's 2592x1944 whose H and V params have been set to 500x350 - so not only are you having to download a HUGE file but then you're relying on whatever crappy downsizing algorithm your browser has.

And it's a JPG! I was expecting a bitmap...

I'm still trying to figure out those button rollovers.

How much did/will it cost?

It's garbage.

Print off this thread and get her to send it to the web "designer" (used in the loosest possible sense).
