No, that's OK - I'm pretty far away.

Hope you don't mind but I sent your comments to our head of web dev. As a first time user you picked up a lot from the site.

Beautiful site graphics. Very crisp and professional.  But practical? Functional?  Looks like it was designed by the marketing department.

Long scroll through the home page (why is post-grad at the top of the page?).  Looks like advertising, not information. If I wanted to know something specific about QUB I think it would be hard to find.  And there's no site map link at the bottom which would make it possible for someone who needs info and is not interested in the pictures of happy people at QUB to find what they need.

And the scrolling thing below latest news - I would be interested to see how many clicks its getting.  It scrolls too fast.  And anyway, I am probably not going to the site to get Latest News.

I am so glad to see that I am not alone in the world! Every so often another website that I regularly visit goes through this same awful transformation. Truly, I dislike it intensely. Give me a site I can navigate easily, make it logical, and don't plague me with tons of dancing baloney.
