This is horrible and broken. Real information replaced with "flat" design and stupid hip made up words like "fun-erer".

There is a delay of at least 100ms scrolling up and down between pages. I would guess 150ms. I do not see any obvious way of changing this, and the scroll bars are hidden. What if I need to change something at the top of the page? I also managed to break scrolling ending up halfway between pages somehow. The only way to fix this was to painfully scroll all the way to one end to reset things.

The site appears to scale horribly, and it looks like they are using javascript to generate styles. IANA web developer and have not studied modern web stuff in a long time, but this seems like A Bad Idea.

I do not even want to think about the accessibility issues.

All in all it seems like they are just following the flat design trend, for the sake of following it. I am sure they have good intentions, but just from analyzing this page I am underwhelmed.




Accessible browsers run Javascript, and have for some time. You may have a point about CSS though.


I'd argue the other way.

Accessible websites are usable without JS. Maybe not pretty, but at least usable.


I don't think you understood my comment.
