Shocking Website Design

I was working on a web project late last night when I received an email from my friend Erik Deckers confirming a meeting we had this morning and asking me to take a look at his new website. Naturally I clicked through to find that the site was unbelievably, astoundingly, and shockingly YELLOW.  I mean, you really need to click through and check this thing out. It is INTENSE.

It was so intense that I had to stare at it for a few seconds before I could get my bearings.  However, after those few seconds I started to take a look and I really fell in love with the intensity.  There are so many sites out there that look alike and this one is very different.  After reading some of the content I found that the yellow wasn’t really as hard to look at as you might think, and it’s definitely unforgettable.

I think it looks a lot like the yellow pages, which is cool if you own a marketing company, because you’re always trying to steal money out of people’s yellow pages budgets.  Erik says it reminds him of an old-style newspaper which is also cool.  It’s just really nice to see someone doing something different for a change.

So I came in this morning to meet Erik and a few other local Indianapolis networkers to discuss an upcoming event. He asked everyone ‘So what’d you think of my new site?’  ‘I don’t like it, it’s too YELLOW.’  They all proclaimed.  Oh well…  I like it anyway.
