1. This one is THE WORST, dryest, most boring website ever, FROM a city that
calls itself "The Creative City"... The website epitomizes everything about how the City of West Hollywood is run, lol!

http://www.weho.org

Got some BUTTER for that dry, dusty toast?

4. Iv'e seen far, far worse.
Appearance is subjective.

Content is universal.

weho's website isn't nearly as overcluttered as many other websites I've seen.


OTOH, those nitwits COULD make it Firefox-friendly...

11. Yes, but their population is 12. WeHo is about 50K with an operating
budget bigger than some small nations.

They own frickin Sunset Boulevard! They throw THE largest Halloween Party in the world for more than half a million people... and this is their IMPROVED website.

Ah well.

8. "make them find it"
There's nothing like this thought process that screams

"I DON'T WANT YOU VISITING MY WEBSITE!"

19. Why do so many web devs not grasp the concept of "negative space"?
It's a pretty basic concept to graphic design.

16. You'd better have broadband
http://www.localslovelasvegas.com/

the first time I tried this site was with a modem. They use so many Java applets it overloaded my machine! I ended up submitting it to web pages that suck...
