It’s So Wrong, But So Right

Published on Monday, June 21, 2010, by Joyce Slaton / Edit Post

The website for London restaurant Sketch commits almost all of the crimes that our Roxanne Webber railed against in "The Four Most Annoying Restaurant Website Design Flaws." It has a slow, irritating Flash intro. It plays discordant music and emits weird noises. It really, really makes you work to find basic info, with headings that actually evade your cursor when you try to click on them. AND there are about 10 different places to find menus, and each of them is a PDF file you must download. All that being said, however, isn't it just pretty? The beautiful wash of colors that splashes down your desktop when you click on a menu is worth at least a few minutes of listening to the clicks and bloops on the irritating soundtrack.

  • I noticed that as well. It's almost like they're saying, "Don't come here. You're too clumsy to navigate our website." But I did end up visiting Sketch in March. . .from the sculpture of two greyhounds humping in the entryway, to the pod-shaped toilets (equipped with canned applause), and the roughly $20 drinks, it was certainly an interesting experience.
