Webdesign Criticism

The Internet Archive, which receives millions in donations, unfortunately fails to hire a talented web designer

Actually I like the Internet Archive very much. I have uploaded some digital artefacts there and regularly make use of the Wayback Machine. But I think it's a pity that so little effort is put into the design of their website.

Dec 2021 notice: The blog of my personal website also looks very different in comparison to the other pages because it was too annoying to streamline the design...

I didn't mark spelling and grammar mistakes because I don't speak English very well by myself.

I only checked the desktop version. On the mobile version much more goes wrong.

Sorry for only mentioning negative things and for being petty, but that's the point of my project "Webdesign Criticism".
