TV3 Website Gives Me Nightmares

Just when I thought the web was actually going through a revival with usability, web standards, AJAX taking hold – and New Zealanders actually starting to churn out some pretty decent websites – TV3 had to come along and trash the party.

Obviously TV3′s web designers needed a ‘What’s Hot/What’s Not’ list – so I’ve created one for them…

HOT

• CSS
• AJAX (in small doses)
• Accessibility
• Resizable fonts
• Information architecture/design
• Simplicity

NOT

• White text on black
• Scrolling/ticker tapes
• table tags (in most cases)
• Small font sizes
• Fixed font sizes
• Clutter
• Frames/scrolling
• Dark text on a dark background
• Light text on a light background
