Fugly website (needs Flash for full fugliness, I assume). Warning - contains music.
WTF were the web designers thinking? It makes me feel ill.
The way that elephant whizzzes in from the right is what really gets me.
The pictures at the bottom make it look offbeat and funky; I’d stay there. But the stuff at the top (spinning fan, racing elephant, etc.) is just too busy. Hope they have free aspirin in every room if they expect me to browse their website while I’m there.
Jesus H.
Is it meant to imply new-agey spa treatment, or is it meant to apply that “we’re totally mad us, eh?!”
Looks like a B3TA spoof.
Here’s the site of the designer: http://www.fatpromotions.co.uk/ which doesn’t seem too bad. Could this be a case of “bloody clients”?
Then again, not only is the site comletely mental and the music supremely irritating, it’s not even competently put together! What’s with the second background area when you scroll down.
Bleaugh.
I misread this as “The way that elephant whizzes on the right is what really gets me.”
Then, I clicked on the link expecting there to be an elephant taking a whiz on the right of the screen.
Actually, I take that back. Fat Promotions’s site sucks too. Navigation hidden all the way down at the bottom of the page? Dingbats.
BWHAHAHAHA! How can anyone who says such shit be taken seriously, crap website or not? And all that spinny crap? Very dizzying.
Well, there appears to be an alien in the second pic from the left, and the wallpaper in the right-hand pic is eye-watering even at thumbnail size.
the web designer who did that site obviously never learned anything from www.websitesthatsuck.com
Well, all I could gather from the site is that I’m not hip enough to stay there.
quelle surprise!
To me, it sends a double message: relax, be hip, enjoy our serenity, man, but the music is frenetic and the constant movement too stimulating–I feel like they’d serve me double concentrated caffeine (or Dexedrine) and then try to soothe me.
The Cotswolds are supposed to be gorgeous–I’m not sure if I would want to travel through a beautiful natural setting with all this New Age noise stuff to come back to each night. :dubious:
“These heavenly pampers are served up to you on a platter of intimacy and privacy in your own boudoir…”
Kinky. But I thought Brits called them “nappies.”
The squares on the right have mystery navigation hidden in them. Still, waaay too wordy.
Some of the stuff in their portfolio indicates they can make a reasonable site, so I’m guessing 1) wackadoo clients and b) they left up the placeholder that was on the html page before the Flash was installed. Big oops. Mouse over the butterflies and the trees for a treat. The hotel certainly looks like an interesting place, but the site makes me literally nauseated (and I’ve got the sound turned off).
“I know Flash, and I’m not afraid to use it”?
