I think you will find the nationals don’t run candidates in the ACT, but nice try.

All that time off-line and they couldn’t come up with a design that autosenses and adapts to smartphone viewing??

Do people really access political sites from their smart phones?

Do people still access the internet from ordinary computers?

*stands up, looks around office* ‘yes’

Yeah, Same here, Not seeing too many offices throwing out their Desktops for Iphones just yet!

It has been generated with this stuff. http://www.joomla.org/ Is it just me or is there a similarity with their site. Perhaps some sort of template??? At least they are using open source I guess.

@ Mysteryman – why all the hate for the site? I have seen a lot worse…is it just that you have blinkered dislike for anything to do with the ALP, or is it something specific about the site?

I’ve seen worse too. But not from organisations in the public arena.

The site looks terrible. The choice of colours is pretty nasty (the colours are washed out and weak). The overuse of gradients is pretty bad, too, adds to the amateur feel of the site. The navigation buttons at the top look like an after thought, and the social media buttons (especially the double $ donate button) look even worse (pixelated and poorly positioned at the top left!). The “ACT Labor” button is unbalancing-ly huge and the rollover looks like a bad CMYK gradient/blend.

I could go on. Their old website looked a LOT better and far more professional.

Better or worse than this: http://canberraliberals.org.au/html/s01_home/home.asp

That’s tough… The Liberal colour choices are bolder and work slightly better, IMO. But the giant icons below the photos look ridiculous, as does the overall layout of the page. The menu at the top looks cleaner and easy to navigate, but when you click the links the pages they go to aren’t complete/don’t work.

Based on functionality alone, the Liberal one is worse. Now I HAVE seen worse from organisations in the public arena.
