For about 15 minutes, I thought about keeping it the way it was since it was practical and straightforward, but I couldn't. Every time I looked at it I felt the urge to throw my computer out the window cause it was so UGLY.
Sad to see another soul giving in to the temptation of "over-designing" things. For fuck's sake, what's wrong with light text on a white/gray backgrounds? She could've tweaked the fonts, spacing and colors a bit, but people no longer do that these days, instead she went full steam and overdesigned the shit out of it and it still looks bad.
...she could've learn a bit of Javascript and called herself a programmer instead of masturbating with CSS and posting about it on Facebook.
If you're not a designer, don't overdo design because you're not gonna do it well! If you are a designer, just stop when it looks "good enough" and start working on something more interesting than a bloody website design! We're wasting waaay too much of our lives "designing" stuff, whether it's our garden or a blog, instead of actually putting things and information in order (no, just "search" is no good enough though I guess some day I'll be able to google for my keys) or actually building cool new things!
