Eye-searing

[logovo]

I got curious about MediaWest, so I went to their website. Sounds cool and I do wish I could go sometime in the future, but the page itself seems like something out of 1995. ::rubs eyes::

It's probably the original design or something. Still...it's like they don't want you to read it! *twitches*

[logovo]

It is possible to overedo the kickin it'ol skool vibe ;)

That hideous blinking gif ... *urgh*

I was reading a tiny bit on CSS the other day and at some point they had a How Not To in page design. The MediaWest page looks close their example.

Oh yes, that's painful...

[logovo]

Yeah. Weird though, for me. Because there are so many fans who are good at this sort of stuff.

es enternecedora, en cierta manera...


A long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away...

Me pregunto cual fue la ultima vez que la actualizaron!

Holy webshrine, Batman!

I was back in th 90's, reading Mulder/Krycek slash slash on black backgrounds, with white font and pink NEON used for link :/

[amalthia]

Yes, I completely agree. But what's more frustrating is that having been completely spoiled by Escapade, who actually provide links to the hotel. The site needs a bit of an overhaul. (and I can't rec this convention but I'll have to explain in more detail via private message or email)

[logovo]

I'm very curious about the convention, so anything you can tell me would be great. 900 fans in a fan run thing sounded great!

[amalthia]

I'll email you when I'm back. :)

This year though I can say there were only about 300 fans at this convention which from what I'm hearing is a rather low number for MediaWest.

It hasn't been edited for the 10 years or so that I've visited the site. Which kind of tells you something about it, eh?

[logovo]

10 years? Oh yeah, that sort of explains things.

[normaltrouble]

I just looked at that.

Wow. That hasn't been changed for a long time, indeed.

And I thought I was behind the times ;)

It is rare now that I see a page where I know, I KNOW, it's really so bad that it needs mocking. Truly, flashback.
