2012 Green Party Presidential Candidate

| politics | web |

I was browsing to see what was in the works for the election in 2012. ( I can finally vote) and I am very disappointed by this website. That is Kent Mesplay - potential Green Party Presidential Candidates campaign website.

I am not disappointed by what is written, or the issues, or the platform. It is nothing like that. The thing that I am disappointed in is superficial, seemingly unimportant, but I am sure that many will agree with me.

– The website looks disgusting. It looks like it was done in a Junior High School HMTL Class. This is 2009 people, no more off centered text and random links and big ass buttons and solid colors. Where is the flash? Where is the Javascript? Where is the CSS?

I am seriously about to write them an email and beg them to let me design the website. I hate to say it , but this website will not attract people who want to know who Dr. Mesplay is. The lack of organization and aesthetics is going to hurt his campaign.

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

The Blandness of Systematic Rules vs. The Delight of Localized Sensitivity

Marcin Wichary brings attention to this lovely dialog in ClarisWorks from 1997: He quips: this breaks the rule of button copy being fully comprehensible without having to read the surrounding strings first, perhaps most well-known as the “avoid «click here»…
