Assignment:
Bad web pages
If you want a website that turns your stomach from the outset, then take a look at this: http://www.taylorhayden.com/HaydenVideoWeddings.html. You might want to wear sunglasses for this one!
The page opens with a huge in your face image of a woman. Through careful analysis it would seem that this depiction was formally a very attractive woman. However, lacerations of bright blue text now pervert the image and flash animation flowers and doves rain down on her once attractive features. The image has also been tiled which delivers us with a page much like a dodgy desktop screensaver. As you continue scrolling down the page it becomes even more painful to the eyes and it becomes difficult to read the text. I think Claude Monet had something to do with this one towards the end of his career when his eye sight was fading.
There is little introduction to this company and it simply cuts to the chase with their prices as if to say, we just want your money! There are a few images of loving couples who look completely staged and bare no resemblance to a real scenario. The links on this page are fairly useless. For example, clicking on Hayden Video Weddings simply takes you to the top of the page. Way can it not just say Top of Page?
To enhance the maudlin insipidness of this page we are serenaded by the sweetest melody: a melody most cheesey and soul sickening. If you are about to enter into matrimony and you are have any doubts – this is the tune to listen to. A revamped version of Stings ‘Fields of Gold’ all corrupted and ready to be shipped out to your local British Home Stores. Once you have heard this little jingle you will realize that marriage isn’t a million miles away from a funeral. All doubts are gone for now there is no doubt –DON’T DO IT YOU FOOL! Oh, and try minimizing the page and restoring it and listen to what happens - it becomes even more out of tune! How is that possible? It would seem then that ‘store jingles’ have worked their way from wretched retailers to cyberspace and they cross the boundaries into your own home!
Rewriting the page
An attempt to rewrite this page would consider a more elaborate introduction as to what the company is. Perhaps a bit more flowering up of what marriage is and what it should mean for any couple entering into a loving enterprise. I would utilize images taken from actual wedding events showing normal couples in real situations, rather than a semblance of marriage fuelled with actors, props and a set. Perhaps using an introduction as follows:
