Website re-design

Niall Warry · 02-10-2006, 09:02 PM

Yes you are right our website is c**p and it take a new comer to point this out. Our poor website is indicative of UKIP....no organisational coordination to speak of. Will our leadersort this out I doubt it as this area is NOT his strength. :cry: I hope he surprises me.

So why have you posted a picture of Neil Kinnock then :shock:

The picture does look a bit like the europhile political failure Neil Kinnock, I must say :twisted: .

Exactly Alex. It's still not good enough. The best party political website in the UK is that of Dr. Paisley's DUP in Northern Ireland - all UKIP has to do is design its website on the excellent format used by the DUP - the largest anti-EU party in the House of Commons.

To use a word used in the property business to describe a flat or house which needs a coat of paint and some modernisation - the official UKIP website is looking "tired" :shock: .

Im glad to see others feel the same way. It looks very dated and I hope it gets sorted out soon.

I agree - the website is pretty **** poor. Presentation is key, and the UKIP website looks as though it was knocked up in Frontpage by a group of GCSE candidates.
It's not hard to make a site look good.

It isn't easy, if you want it accessible, W3C-standards compliant and the rest.
I am a website designer.

As I understand it, Manic Monday are not given much support by UKIP's heirarchy. Or weren't, anyway, perhaps that will change with our new leader.

I run an IT company and I have a website designer - and used to dabble a bit before I moved into networking and servers. It isn't hard to make a website look good. If it was, web designers would be earning much more because there would be fewer of them.
