Examples of Home Pages Found Weak, Poorly-Designed, and/or Uninspired in Concept of Home Page

• visit site Here's a page I threw up in 30 seconds at Swine-Online using a Java coded template. The background is garish; the "dancing baloney" in the upper left corner is "but spinning fluff" and the centered page layout/mug shot leaves much to be desired. (In my original attempt, I typed in my home link wrong plus a typo in the text portion. Kudos to the webmaster who gave me a break and fixed it). crapak

• visit site Sylvester Stallone, one of the worst actors on one of the worst web pages I've seen! Hardly any background, just big poster images, a list of his films with storylines included.

• visit site Starts out with a nice textured background, but then that's it. It's literally a home page of one page.(Michael Wong)

• visit site i love this guy (yes, you have to follow the link to find out who it is), but this is some of the most gratuitous, cheesy, self promotion i've ever seen. Most of the links go nowhere, there's no real information, and the homey friendly tone is misleading for a site which has consistently not answered my e-mails. At least you can laugh your ass off at the stupid photos (and they do give you thumbnails). mailto kj

• visit site i stumbled onto this site by accident, while trying to find my own page. It inspires in me the eternal philosophical question, "Why bother?" (kj, again)

• visit site This Big Science propaganda posing as a personal homepage is an example of totally inappropriate use of images; the data transmission demands are way out of proportion to the visual content received. It uses hundreds of kilobytes to convey what are basically pull-out quotes, which add little, if anything of substance to the author's message, while accounting for 99-percent of download time. -s hartzog

• visit site Although the visual layout of this page is nice at first, the content is mind-numbingly dull. The page is essentially a narrative, but all the devices that make a narrative interesting are missing. There is no sense of revelation or drama. Reads like a home movie and about as interesting.

• visit site This page has no content and has no visual appeal. If it's intent is to make you laugh, it does that but doesn't do much else.

• visit site I expected a lot more from Disney's home page, that is until I thought about it for a minute. Originally I thought "Hey, they made all those cool animated movies and even had a hand in the creation of Toy Story, the best computer animation that I've ever seen." Then I thought about how commercial Disney has become; and their spend-as-much-money-as-you-can style of web site made more sense. It's hard when you find out that your childhood "Mecca" is only interested in $$$$$. Boo Hoo. -Walter Denlinger

• visit site ...this one even includes a disclaimer!! He touches on some interesting issues around the homepage, personal identity, and blah, blah, yet even he states that his site is no better than those he seeks to criticize. Too bad, could've been quite cool. -Jannicke

• visit site A very annoying site. The visuals were of the ugliest caliber, the layout was grating, and, I was not in the least bit intrested in any of the information. R. Ryan

• visit site Somehow with the name ^ÄDevil Woman¾ I expected more graphics and bit more presence on the home page. The page was not that stimulating- in content or visuals. Not that I am saying mine will be any better, but this was very basic and did not live up to its name. (MY)

• visit site Didn't much care for this one. Biggest ? I have is why should I care? Layout is ok but unimaginative with no links. Content F-, Layout C-, Technical Aspects C, Overall Grade D . Paxton Brewer.

• visit site I'm not sure if Aol gives standard templates for their customers, but everybody had a short DMV bio like Snowweasel's. I chose this one as a bad web design because he has absolutely nothing on it, but his bio.

• visit site it isn't that i couldn't find any pages which i thought were uninspiring on different levels, but i still wouldn't define them as "weak", and would rather defend the internet for the closest thing we have right now to free speach and two way mass communication (even considering the criticisms of the internet and it's shortcomings as a democratic space or public sphere).

• visit site This is a bare bones webpage. It has a few personal details, about 4 links to other sites and nothing else. No graphics (other than a smiley face), no interesting content, and basic formatting. I suspect this is the type of webpage that gets thrown up if the instructor of your web class says, "Have something up by Thursday, or be prepared to explain why you should be in the class". You will see what I mean if you go there! (Danna Hoshino)

• visit site description here This site is very boring. It looks like a prank joke on this girl becky but it was badly executed. I think Becky actually wrote it as a poor attemt to conceal herself as the author. There's absolutely no links, interesting visuals, or subject matter.(EVELYN FUNES)

• visit site be afraid. (Mal W.)

• visit site The graphics on the first page led me in to the next, but then nothing happened. Quite disappointing. Maybe he's not finished...yuni

• v isit site description here Family Home Page
  The opening screen is one long list and all the links are lists! There are no graphics or even interesting text...this was one boring family for years and years and years.YUK!

• visit site It looks like nothing but a name card. If you want to see the most simple site, this is the one. Kyung-Hee

• visit site seems more like an advertisement (either for himself or the midi product) than a home page (julie)

• visit site Although it's been updated, it's still one of the worst websites with the worst actor in Hollywood!(If you're a Stallone fan or not.) - F.L.

• visit site I am amused to see this person erfer to themselves as a designer thomas ferraiuolo

• visit site I had I difficult time finding a site I truly hated, till I found this one. It reeks! This is the kind of the corporate mildew that gives me headaches. In searching the topic "identity" I came upon this magazine company that plays upon our misguided or misinformed notions of Individuality. It is necessary to promote these false notions of "uniqueness" if any of this capitalist endeavors are to prosper.kelly

• visit site This site is for the Pacific Rim Art Exchange. I am not sure if it is under construction or what, but there does not seem to be any content except for a page about U.S. copyright. Navigation chaotic as well.-eric

• visit site eric's net, or is it santa's? what's this for?(gooby)

• visit site This guy has WAY too much time on his hands to be putting together a site like this. Who cares what Food Gone Bad looks like? Get a life, buddy. (D Yee)

• visit site This page really is nothing more than a list, which gives no indication of who this person is or what there about. There's just nothing there!
