Dizzay.com: How Much More Worse Can It Get?
With years of experience in Internet consulting and after having developed, seen, experienced and tampered with hundreds of websites or blogs of all kinds, the only thing that could make me fall off my chair could be something strikingly beautiful (while still being effective and functional) or something that is outright disgusting in the day and age of WordPress themes laced with JQueries, Javascripts, etc.
Dizzay.com just sent me reeling on the floor and probably takes the first place as one of the most disgustingly ugly websites I ever came across in my life time. Frankly, one of those early “Click to Read email and earn money” websites looked better.Here’s why we hate Dizzay.com:
Categories Clumped together
I remember the old junkyard my family used to vehemently dump everything old and unused into. Dizzay.com seems to be the online equivalent of that; put up in honour of the very junkyard we had to burn down because it was a breeding ground for white-ants and rats (in turn attracting snakes and plenty of trouble). Dizzay.com has clusters lumped together to the left-hand side of something that apparently looks like a website.
Can’t ask anything until you log-in (Old fashioned sign-up)
Do the folks at Dizzay.com seriously think they can compete with some of the really good looking, heavily-trafficked and functional websites we reviewed about earlier? You can’t ask questions or put out your answers if you are not signed up and this much is understandable. However, the sign-up page reminds me of those decade-old designs which have been long substituted with Javascript enabled or Ajax enabled sign-in pages.
Advertisements galore and then donations
The useful part if the site is only to the left side (at least on the home page). I didn’t bother signing-up because I find it repulsive. On the right hand side is the coolest place for spammers to hang-out. I couldn’t help but notice the donation button (but for what?) and huge banners screaming in desperation for your attention. Well, banners and advertisements are fine (and I am always for capitalistic business promotion) but who the heck designed this? The side bar is bloated and way too big for the slim skyscraper ad.
Questions that seem more like musings
I didn’t find a single question I would have loved to see the answer to. Outrageous isn’t the word to describe this, I guess. The site is devoid of any sense and I almost feel apologetic that Askoholic had to actually bear the burden of carrying this little, no-value review for a quasi-existing, senseless Q & A site. The questions are a joke and the answers can humour your some more.
I am glad I could click on the little X on the top right hand side of the browser. Dizzay.com is a Q &A site alright; but one eviscerated of the very essence of Q &A and social search. My humble guess is that it would be up there – live—as long as the hosting account remains valid?
