Firepaper App – An Example of Bad Web Design for November 1, 2013

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Here’s a website that showed up in my RSS program. It was listed with other “remarkable” websites. My only remark was “Holy Mother of God, my iPad’s screen has gone haywire because I can’t read the tag line and the text.”
The home page looks better on my desktop PC. It’s “better” in the sense that it’s better to weigh 242 instead of 250 lbs. I can at least read the tag line, which makes me wonder: Was the site created on a desktop and never checked on the iPad? This is weird because the app is for the iPad. Huh? The website sucks on the very platform the app is supposed to run.
Where’s the logo? Is it that yellow triangle at the top? Also, why is the picture of the app all blurry? I would think the image would be crisper than a new $100 bill.
It’s not a HealthCare.gov fiasco, but there’s one similarity: did anybody ever look at the home page before launch?
