Sunday Morning – An Example of Bad Web Design for April 1, 2013

Submitter’s comments: This is the website of a Ceramics Workshop in Holland. It is JavaScript, with bizarre links and sub-menus that overlap the main links. It is Mystery Meat in the sense that “Here”, “Others”, “Now” and “Seek”, for instance, do not adequately explain the content within. Since there is a “Seek” box at the top, I don’t really see the need for a separate link.
The links also move, which doesn’t scream accessibility to me.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: The arrows on the illustration above show the menu items on the “job opportunities” page (located under “us”). If your window isn’t wide enough, the links disappear and you can’t access them. The sub-links are hard to read under normal conditions because they’re light blue.
Some of the JavaScript code is pretty wild and is based on Fortune’s algorithm. Yeah. Me too.
Did anybody look at this site before it went live?
