Yet another .gov website

Each time I visit a .gov website, I experience déjà vu! This .gov website is no different. Created a little over two decades ago by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), New Delhi, India for the Indian Railways, this website (http://www.indianrail.gov.in/) is basically ridden with fundamental organizational flaws.

The menu names on the main/home page like "Have a Look", "Services You Can Use", and "Vox Populi" are wordy and archaic. Also, elements like the header, navigation bar, two columns of links appear to be thrown in randomly. The colors do not seem to be in sync. There is lack of symmetry between the links in terms of font size and bullet usage. The navigation is quite awkward. If on the homepage, clicking on any other link keeps the user in the same url, but clicking on some link while on a different page (like Train Schedule) takes the user to a new window, which can become inconvenient and cumbersome at times. There is no uniformity in the typography (the font type, font color, and font size of the links and text on each page is different). The About Us section opens up a page with the header - Indian Railways Online Website (are there any Offline Websites too?!), and right below lies a half-eaten, weather-beaten, almost shy, bottomless (oops!) Indian Railways type (ouch!). The Vox Populi section (yes, Vox Populi?!!...are we still in the Anglo-Saxon era??) page has some amateurish graphics (read a flashing, blinking, happy-go-lucky "flower", and Suggestions type!).

Considering that the Indian Railways, which is completely owned by the government of India, is such a profit-making body, its website sure needs a facelift, and fast!

The Most Overwhelming Website EVER

This website may not have a lot of crazy moving and blinking graphics, but it contains more text than I have ever seen. I was overwhelmed by this website just from first glance. I would not even know where to begin exploring this website (assuming that there is any content to pursue). This is an "online newspaper" that focuses on political issues and news. This is just WAYYYY too much information to bunch on one page.

Here is the link: http://www.havenworks.com/

BEWARE: For those who suffer from anxiety, this website may cause panic attacks.

Crazy who-can-even-figure-out-what-this-is-for webpage

This "thing" hurts my eyes.  I can't imagine actually spending time on this site for something I wanted.  Is this a comic, show or just random images and links? 

Well, the lack of organization and numerous distractions make it near impossible to navigate. Once you're over the initial shock of the general appearance, leave.  

This site highlights pretty much everything you shouldn't do with a webpage.  There's bright, flashing colors, plenty of repetitive moving objects and absolutely no order. 

Don't do this.

Obnoxious Religious Website

So this is the website I brought in for dicussion its very obnoxious in its color and graphic choices. Enjoy! http://www.dokimos.org/ajff/
