Submitter’s comments: While the issue of drug abuse is a worthwhile cause for a charity, this website is immensely confusing. It opens with an intro showing crosses looking like the Hewlett- Packard logo and words like “Advice Support, A Helping Hand” (Oh - so I am on the customer support website for HP am I?)
The intro “warms you up”, and for what…when you actually get to the content, the most striking things on the page are some blue hoops and flying balls. The music on the site is cheesy (but I actually like the total song by Underworld).
Going further into the website, all the photos distract from its true purpose. There is photo of a woman doing yoga on the “Who We Are” page (a wellness website?) and another of a woman athelete on the “Projects” page (sports anyone?).
Overall, the images and graphical design are poorly chosen. I want to read about people on drugs and how I can help them, not look at how well the webmaster can design a site. Put down the EGO and HELP people on drugs by designing a good website!
Vincent’s comments: I have to agree with the above, but the lack of contrast between text and background is what annoys me the most. What does “Podane Ruce” mean? Sounds like a cult.
