New look ABC

Thanks for the feedback guys. Think the logo is an IE6 PNG problem – it looks crappy at work but fine at home on IE7 and Firefox. But noted.

Keep it coming…

whoops, wrong one. This looks more up to date http://www.abc.net.au/news/act/default.htm

I’m sorry, I prefer this site.. It only covers ACT news.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/tag/act/

I actually agree with Cameron on this, its actually pretty reasonable, but the defined edge of the rectangle GCC logo with drop shadow & grey gradient isn’t pretty, when sitting on the white background of the header.

Everything else seems colourblind friendly and easy enough to find.

Gungahlin Al – the GCC website isn’t too bad. About a thousand times better than I was expecting when I clicked the link.

Why are you considering an overhaul? It’s a decent, clean design and it gets the job done. The only feedback I’d have is lose the drop shadow on the logo – makes it look horrible.

I’m really surprised, the ABC has been churning out nice sites, see triplej for a good example. But this is shocking, I can sort of see what they are trying to do, but the front page is a mess, far to many colours for a start.
It looks like someone vomited in fluro…

While everyone’s fired up about website design, could I ask for feedback and suggestions on the GCC website http://www.gcc.asn.au

We’re considering an overhaul, starting with a new template (it is built in open source Joomla). But e also want to ponder whether the overall content directions are making for a useful resource for the community, or if not, what we could add in, within our financial and volunteer slave labour constraints.

(Send ’em direct to president at gcc.asn.au if you prefer to take your thoughts off-line.)

Constructive suggestions cheerfully accepted. Volunteers even more cheerfully accepted!

Thanks RAers.

So you liked it hey Stereo henry??
You detecting a pattern here as to what everyone else thinks?…
Maybe it was a Work Experience project?

colour scheme is terrible, layout is poorly thought over, and the coding is shonky too.

All the state websites now look like this. Scary. And where’s the link to the recipe index gone??

Dear GOD that is hideous!

I HATE having to hover over something before you know what it is. The animation moves too fast for you to read the text. I could go on all day…

The ABC has blinded me with their lack of style and colour considerations!

Why are they chosing varying colour shades of green (bad choice for a popular website by ignoring the green colourblind 9% of human males), and putting reds on a green backround (ignoring colourblindness again), and having a tag cloud in which apparently everything is highly popular…

Looks like a typical MySpace page…

I thought the layout may have just been wonky in Firefox, but it’s just as bad in IE6 :S

Did they let Mark Carmody design that for them?

Crap.

I opened it and the first scrolling feature that came up was Stuffed Zuchini. Rather fitting I though given the colour scheme and usability…

Complete rubbish.

agreed…. it’s not great.

it is a complete shambles. what a mess.

The Homer: How much did this monstrosity cost ??

Oh my god. It’s a fricken dogs breakfast.
