Jesus thats painful. Reminds me of the early days of geocities.

Edit: Check the sample sites. That really is awful. Tempted to get freelancing myself. If people will pay for something like that, I should have no problem making a bit of cash.

That's the funniest website I've seen in ages. The youtube video was obviously a big budget production

We at Raheny Digital Media like to stay with simple designs and Easy~Flow websites.

Enough said.

You gotta say fair play to this guy. It seems like he has learned Front Page and is making websites commercially! They are s##t, but if he is getting paid! No css either!

Oooooh.... I love the spinning CDs :-)

It has to be a hoax... it's a good one! Fair play guys - you got us!

What a way to get back links. I'm sure they'll unveil the real site soon :-)

Chardee MacDennis

i dont know, some of those sites were created over 2 years ago...

You'll find more than a few state and semi-state sites cut from the same cloth; I'm pretty sure it's for real. There are plenty of visually-illiterate/web-illiterate people out there, enough that stuff like this can find a paying audience.

It's the web equivalent of the 'Northside' free tabloid. Someone somewhere thinks it's good, and that's enough.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The sick puppy in me wants to mail him a link to this thread - The guy probably sits in the local telling his mates about his "digital company"

Webmonkey

Already phoned him looking for a 'quote' - he said find a website that I like and that he'd copy it.

My fave: http://www.5starplumbing.ie/

It's called anti-design. Haven't you heard? It's the new.. eh.. something.

That is an absolutely terrible website. I genuinely feel sick.
This stuff is very damaging to a company.

Look how big the "5 star logo" is

http://www.5starplumbing.ie/THE5StarLogo.jpg

1602 × 562px and he has the browser do all the work scaling it down to 196 × 80px. Along with lack of design and colour coordination, he obviously hasn't a clue about presenting graphics over the net with bandwidth in mind.

Give him something like this and see what he says.

Incidentally, the music in his promo really sums up his easy-flow style of visual creativity imo, it's quite unnervingly weird and terrifying.

You love your flash Gordon. That's impressive stuff.
Yeah I had plans to go into heavy technical details with him too and see how he react.

gimme5minutes

Looks like he's going for the old retro 1999 website look.

Kila

What's with all the crests? It kinda looks like he got a bumper pack of crest background graphics, and has just incorporated them into everything...

Webmonkey

Yeah looks like a dodgy GAA club website

elyod

He uses the Aston Villa crest for Aston Builders Ltd. Surely there's some copyright issues there.

The amazing thing is that these companies he has done website for seem to be actual, real companies.

Give him a link to the BBC site and say you're from looking for a Fine Gael website
