The Daily Sucker

Daily Sucker for Monday, January 21, 2008

Submitter’s comments: I was reading about the City of Brooksville on your web site and it made me think of Jefferson County. It’s a very busy site.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: I think this site is interesting because just a few changes would improve the site’s look by at least 75%:

  1. Get rid of the horrific, “Holy Mother of God this sucks like a black hole” background image.
  2. Replace those horrible-remind-me-of-AndyArt-in-1996 navigation buttons with text links or better looking graphics.
  3. Get rid of those horrible list-item buttons.
  4. Replace those horrible “Government & People,” “Natural Resources,” etc., buttons with text links or better looking graphics.
  5. Get rid of the scrolling text.
  6. Eliminate the Dreamweaver template code.

The home page is about 396Kb and removing the images or creating better, optimized images would cut down on bandwidth.
