    I love the way they're whoring their LIT-branded Credit Card on the home page.

    Anybody else notice that blue seems to be the new (IT) black?
    Letterkenny IT, Tallaght IT (TIT - sure are for thinking this is a nice colour), Limerick IT, Waterford IT, Dundalk IT, Tralee IT, Carlow IT.. the list goes on.

    A special mention must go to Sligo IT for "Click here to skip Flash Intro. Best viewed at 800x600 with IE5.5" (Didn't bother waiting for it, dial-up connection, but I obviously shouldn't be viewing it, seeing I'm using Firefox, and a ridiculously high res. of 1024 x 768), and to Cork IT, for their woozifying horizontal lines, bizarre colour combinations, and art nouveau feel.

    College sites are notoriously difficult to design. There's so much administration & structure it's a mess. + you've got tons of legacy content too. Add to that the infighting that you have in some colleges and the end result is a load of crap college websites.

    Incidentayll 10k is nothing when you're talking a site of that scale. Managing dealing withthe client alone would cost that much. :)

    My own college: www.dcu.ie doesn't fare any better, though one of their departments has a decent site: www.computing.dcu.ie

    That's what I really like about the University of Ulster website, it's professionally laid out, and consistent throughout. When I was looking through the UCD/DCU/TCD web sites, I kept looking at the URL as the pages kept changing design, and I was wondering if I'd been sent off-site.

    I know €10k is a spit in the barrell for something of that magnitude, but at the same time it was way too much for what was actually done.
