www.buchananbordercollies.comOh man, you guys, this is my favorite bad-design site of all time. Listen, border collie people are very nice, and the dog we got from them is the best dog on this planet but there's a reason they're not web-design people, and that reason is because they are
dog people instead.
Anyone interested in buying a pure-bred, ranch-raised, low-key border collie. The general public, really, which includes the broad spectrum of Web expertise--though the fact that by finding this website in the first place you are identifying as a web user of at least a certain degree of savviness.
All the things you really need to know are there: how many dogs were in the most recent litter; their pedigree, pattern, and cost; information about health care and references; where the ranch is; how the dogs are raised and bred; generally what kind of an outfit BBC is. The photos on the site verify the dogs are all working dogs and agility-trainable, which is information a potential customer is probably looking for.
Well, I guess you could say they're consistent: consistently a mess. This is truly incredible, you guys. It's hard to say it's consistently designed, but eventually you figure out how it works, which leads into
What you eventually figure out is this: everything that you might otherwise look for in a menu has its own link on a parent page; things that you think might be found on a subpage are, no, all there in a list on the front page; each hyperlink describes exactly what it links to--really, it starts to make a strange, berserk-design kind of sense. Except, in 10 colors.
