Manic Sanitation

Submitter’s comments: Go to this site and make sure to check every page and see how it has a lot of variation in the grid and in the look. If you can understand a little bit of the French text, their slogans are funny.

Vincent Flanders’ comments: First, you have to love the company’s name — “Manic Sanitation.” It conjures up all sorts of images. The color scheme is interesting. I’m not sure if it’s a “French thing,” but it’s hopefully not an American thing.

The Techniques page is certainly different. Normally, when I say “Flash” it’s about how a site has gone off the deep end with Flash — like Jim Carrey’s site, which is expensive and over-blown. Manic’s “Techniques” page may very well be the web’s cheapest and most under-blown use of Flash. Under-blown?

Manic performs disaster recovery services —and that reminds me of one of my favorite web sites from the last century — Scene Clean.

Scene Clean. A classic sucky site
