The site design makes me want to throw something. The massive header bar with literally 7 words on it that is more than inch wide, taking up more than 25% of the vertical space and has a bizarre iiiIji logo (or something) that has no mouseover. What a waste of space!

- enw 6y agoSorry for being off-topic, but could you give an example of what you'd consider great design? (Genuine question; I'm intrigued)
- titzer 6y agoI'm an old fuddy-duddy. I prefer a small number of links written in text on the left, a nav sidebar. Frames or not, doesn't make a big difference to me. I am generally on a laptop with high DPI and have limited vertical resolution. The OS, window manager, browser, etc, already have a bunch of stacked bars and even in fullscreen mode there is a huge base overhead. Most sites seem to be optimized for tablets only, with massive SVG icons that are supposed to look so pretty, 20 point font, completely sparse layout for fat fingers. It's like people forgot about desktops. That is pretty annoying to me.
