Leoneck Hotel – An Example of Bad Web Design For August 14, 2012

Submitter’s comments: Needs more cowbell!
Vincent Flanders’ comments: I thought the person submitting this site was joking about the cowbells. No. The site uses the late, not-so-great Flash as a design tool. They have a bare-bones —and I mean bare-bones —mobile version which is more effective because it just gives you the room rates and a reservation page. However, if you click on the hotel image, it takes you to the German language page.
The animated cow that follows your cursor on the Flash site is annoying —and amateurish. The "follow the arrows" navigation is a poor choice. Mousing over some of the links activates the cowbell sound. Seriously.
On the other hand, I really like the pastel coloring and the impressionistic look of the pages.
