Parsons' web site

[Developwebsites]

check out their horrible HTML site,
http://www.parsons.edu
a worse site I've yet to see for a school with a good rep offering
classes in web design. Text without line breaks. A 12 year old
could see this is unreadable. It would appear their own teachers need
a lesson in design before teaching others.
[although their Flash site is pretty good]

Well I can't even visit the site as it's telling me I need an even newer version of Flash, which I
refuse to download, as Flash sites turn me off anyway.

Why did you post this? Do you have a grudge against the developer?
Did they ask you to post for a critique?

What's your stuff like?

I posted this because I am in the market for schools which offer BA or BFA.
And Parsons is a famous school, however, as you can see judge from their site,
their developer needs to take a class.

No, just decisive. Flash sux (for most things). The End.

Oh no, not another of those websites which *forces* you to scroll to read a tiny bit of text.

Why? Why? Why?

So? How does the quality of their web site relate to the quality of
their courses? Have a look at http://www.ox.ac.uk/ - probably one of
the best universities in the world, and one that Harvard and Yale aspire
to.

you to do anything remember?

ok, good point.
how does the quality of my portfolio relate to what I can do for you?
or,
a lack of experience on my resume doesnt mean I cant do the job,
or,
just maybe since they cant their teachers to design a descent site maybe the
teachers suck.
a school i wont be attending.

Hywel, you make a valid point, but first impressions stick...and this
really is a bad first impression, regardless of what Parson's strengths
may be.
