Here's some things I notice at first glance that contribute to it's incomplete feel, imo:
- Lack of hierarchy among elements
- Inconsistent layout from page to page
- No typesetting, paragraphs are squished together in a dark font
- No indication of what the current page is beyond the browser tab title
- Heavily contrasting colors in certain areas like call to actions (white-on-blue) that will bleed on cheaper displays
These are all things that if fixed would improve usability while adding zero decoration.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoAs a developer with a poor design sense I noticed all that, also (the rest applies to my mac display, FF developer): things are not perfectly aligned, the menu on the top is a little out of alignment with the button on the right. the white box in the middle of the blue area is moved out of alignment with everything else, also the text above the white is a little smushed. quotes could use some padding. If all these things were fixed I would say Spartan design, I like it. As it is now I find it a little annoying and ugly, of course without this post to add to I would never have tried to figure out what exactly I didn't like but that's how it goes I guess.
- at-fates-hands 6y agoI just spent the last year or so doing WCAG2 work for a large government project. Everything you point out is something we got dinged for and had to change in the app we were building. There was a lot of myself and the other dev saying to each other, "Really? Is this really a big deal?" Now you just see it all over the place because you have an eye for it.
