Randomly found this link on some blog comment. I thought it was funny that this person talks about how people should choose SpunSilk webdesign so they don't have junky looking lame websites.

This is my favorite quote.

"Therefore almost everyone thinks they can write web pages, and everyone knows someone who can do so. However, most of these people are amateurs, and chances are good that you will end up with either a very amatuerish page"


.....see her website.

My guess is that a very young person wrote it, in whitch case it maby shouldnt be made to much fun of. In any other case you just want to point you finger and lol at him. :P

That's how majority of websites looked back in 1995, that was the style. Look at the copyrights 1995

As Donna mentioned, pay attention to the copyright year. Most possibly this site is not functional, but if it is really a full working site then I had two toughts. Firstone was ROFL, and second that is this webdesigner a fan of nostalgy :P
Anyway this web is classic, you must confess that :( But yeah, the plans for hosting are superbm you can get hosting with these parameters for free nowadays :(

LOL! Maybe they have only just discovered the net and have stole what they think is a nice looking site to publish their services.

Some people :P.

Wow what disturbing mother F*!ker designed that pile of shit that I wouldn't look at for more than 5 seconds as it offends me.

Sorry but there’s being "old school" and retro, and there’s this.. Which I'm sorry to say is total waste of time and thought.

Now for the constructive criticism not a rant; rip it down and start again, seriously. I don't know many people that would enjoy reading the text of that poor excuse for a web site. Web design kind of flew out of the window with this one? If there are new technologies and new methods, USE THEM.

I know this is some ones work, "I should have respect for it" well seriously, it will be laughed at; I’m just acknowledging that there’s no need to be producing stuff like this anymore.

it seems as if the website hasn't been updated for a very long time, so what is the issue?

No issue from me. I'm just amazed now that the internet has come such a long way since then. Just think, in future years everyone will think the awesome paid hosting you can get now is like crap compared to what they have.

The cycle just keeps going on...
