[IxDA Discuss] A badly designed site about bad design

[Melvin Jay Kumar]

While we all discuss the various implications, and I think no one is
wrong. I think ultimately, it depends on the purpose of the site and
why it was created.

It could be just a simple, I just want a basic site to create a list
of all the bad design I encounter and share with some people.

I guess, with that basic premise, the site meets its goals.

Now, if we are talking about visual design, improvement of overall
architecture, etc...etc... definitely this site could do all that.

But if the site meets its intended goal and the users are able to do
what was envisioned, I think it is successful.

My two cents. =)
