They've failed to map old URLs to new though. So lots of 404s from places like Google. **** amateurs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like they are all build on the same template and every website looks the same. Why is there no originality and personality shown in web design any more? Because generally speaking the mass users don't like it. That might appeal to an individual (note I avoided odd ) but that isn't what most users want they want sharp clear design with navigation that is familiure a bit like a supermarket layout. Original design and personality are sure fire ways to having a high bounce rate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted June 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2016 On my mobile it is an infinitely scrolling pile of disorganised ridiculously-sized text and pictures. It is simply horrid and has almost zero information density. Do people really expect to just keep scrolling and scrolling forever? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same when I turned on SSL. As you know, I don't even do this for a living 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrolling is fine when you are scrolling through the content you want to see. But I don't like it when it is a major method of finding content, which seems to be the case here on the home page. Give me a nicely organised menu system, reduce the amount of 'random other stuff' on the page and reduce the amount of whitespace and I am happy. Having said all that, the menu system at the top is actually better than I had first thought - now I have had another play with it and got a bit more used to it I am a bit less annoyed by it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
