The recent buzz of a potential Microsoft tablet/media handheld device is impressed upon the public with this roughly coded and developed site: http://www.origamiproject.com
One page. 14 errors. Flash scripted with not charcter type.
Aside from the black background, and a sad attempt at (not so sure?) ectched metal top/bottom headers with a 1988 audio dub — while it stinks of poorly thought out design, it’s coding is a disaster of long hand CSS without proper html standards and no care for handicap accessibility.
A fortune 500 company without the resources to build a proper site, from a design and development standpoint is a shame. Flash designs like this were passé in 1997, and that semi Mac OS X standard backdrop doesn’t invite anything innovative.
Design reflects your image, it’s importance should not be disregarded so easily. What buzz does it create when it looks less professional than most rookie design sites?
