File Under “Ouch, My Eyes…”

in Everything Else

Every once in a while I come across a site that is so poorly designed I don’t even bother analyzing it, I just stand back and point to it in mute wonder.

DFI’s product page is such a site. Hey DFI: good motherboards. Bad site.

Enjoy.

You're not kidding. Most of these motherboard sites suffer from the same problem; terrible layout and info. arch., colors, fonts, graphics…uh, I guess all I can do is stand back as well.

They often have issues with their documentation as well. Either poorly written, non-existent or missing crucial pieces of information. I understand the issue is the language barrier and the engineering mindset, that's fine but, honestly, how hard or expensive could it be to hire a consultant to clean these sort of things up?

That's nothing. I've used this http://www.havenworks.com/ in so many presentations I've lost count. Some poor sod's trying to keep it up to date as well would you believe?

Name and shame I say.

I'll try this again.

I've used this in so many presentations I've lost count. Suspend belief for a moment: http://www.havenworks.com/

Name and shame I say.
