WEBSITES THAT DON'T WORK

Our friend Roger Black is one of the news designers of the world.

You will see one of his print designs and you will know immediately that is a Roger's one.

Now he starts his own blog and, oh, oh, you can see again that is a black, white and read Roger's one.

The only problem is that you can not, I can not, read it.

Well, try it and tell me.

You are correct! The serif type in white on a vibrant red background (#E4000F) is impossible for my eyes to read. Also, the page design is too wide and breaks a standard law of usability -- do not force the user to scroll in two directions (horizontal as well as vertical). The width of his "wrapper" is 1120 pixels. Well, the common width is 1024 pixels, MINUS the width of the scrollbar (commonly we allow 20 pixels for its width, but then we round down to an even 1000 pixels wide, and we know we are safe).
