Yea … I can’t read that.

I’ve gone on numerous rants in the past about webmasters color choices but tonights choice takes the cake. I don’t condone showing screen shots of others sites, why drive traffic to them. Below I’ve pasted a color swatch of what this persons site looks like. I’d like you, the visitor, to tell to me exactly why you think I didn’t even bother giving the site a second look. Note that I’m only including a sentence from their most ‘interesting’ post and the colors listed are exactly how the site looks. The background really is this hex code, the content area really is this hex code. The text is really this crazy color and this type face.

Dumb Ass?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ Website Colors

Never mind the fact that the colors are blinding, the fact that this person can’t spell for shit, or the fact that there’s people out there PRAISING her ‘dezine skilz’. Excuse the fact that this child, well – 24 year old – was allowed to have a computer, let alone a website.

At first I thought “Hey, this person could be using a transparent iFrame”. Nope, I was wrong. Firefox wasn’t the only browser that didn’t like them. Even MSIE listed the site in the reject section of the universe. At least something loaded in Firefox, thanks to my ad-free browsing. This person has their own domain, but I assume it’s still on a free server considering there are both top, bottom and popup ads with the initial load of the site. See, even I’m getting better about shoving those off the top of the page and moving them down.

I’d like to hold xposure responsible for this. They were the ones whom sent me here and deserve all the credit. I appreciate what they’ve done for me and if any of the administration (if an admin actually exists) happen to float by my site any time soon. I request to be removed from your database, considering all email has gone unanswered for the last six months!
