Neha was showing me the website of LSR college, apparently a well known college in Delhi.
Please, put on some very dark glasses, because what you see here will literally drive you blind. I saw this, and wondered what kind of image this college wants to project.
Look at their main page: it is some sort of giant billboard.

Then walk on to their contents page, where half the links are under ConstructioN (sic).

What a hideous background image, that looks like some fish was chopped to get it.
Click on the extra curricular activity link and be prepared for the worst site design, complete with fifteen different colors and a dark black background.

Neha and I are still exploring this wonderful site, along with the stop press link.

And while we are at it, let us inform everyone that LSR makes its alumni run around for getting transcripts, and tortures them for these scraps of paper. LSR refuses to give more than fifteen transcripts at a time, which means that if you need thirty transcripts, you need to go twice. And the principal doesn't feel any compulsion to stamp the transcripts, so if you need them stamped, you've got to go there again.
Welcome to one of the best schools in Delhi: where the quality of education is about as good as their website.
just randomly came across ur post....
ReplyDeletewant to clarify that the site is being upgraded by us,the union of lsr in a week...
also i dont think the site should be the basis of a valuejudgement...
newayz each to his own!
Yes, they've definitely improved it. I guess for their golden jubilee.
ReplyDeleteI really stopped by to say thanks for your webcam article on your website. My guess is that you'd think my blog is ugly, but "newayz each to his own!"
We shouldn't make value judgements based on colors - punctuation, capitalization, and spelling, maybe - but not colors.
Of course, I can't read it in its native tongue, either.
Thanks, again.
J, that is absolutely fab! I looked at the updated site, and it is very nicely done. Congratulations to you. Sorry for sounding critical and harsh, but I'm sure you saw my point. You even have maps of the place: I am completely floored.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, and pats on the back, not that you need my endorsement for a work very well done.
Smile,
Vikram
Diesel, I'm glad the webcam page was useful. I try not to make value judgements, but sometimes I come across emails or web pages which are unreadable, and I get crotchety and irritable.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has their weaknesses, I am told.
Friendly,

Please don't take me too seriously. I rarely rant, unless it's about corporate giants trying to take over the world with software that never meets its release dates... ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Vik,
