Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but anyway. My boss and I are having a hilarious debate about www.tweak.com

He thinks it's amazing and beautiful. I think it's cluttered and busted ugly. If anyone would like to join in I'd love to hear your opinions. Please include reasoning for your opinion.

Cheers, Colm

boss is always right and if your not designer, you cant understand designer's pain..its looking good showing all relevant information..and as a designer i know how it feels when you face critique although its good.. – Jack Jun 20 '11 at 13:40
Your question in its current form is a bit too vague. See relevant information and rough guidelines on the following Q&A in meta: Asking community to critique work? Also be wary there is no clear consensus whether critique questions are on-topic at all. – koiyu Jun 20 '11 at 21:08

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

I think this is not the place to post this subjective question as there's is no actual problem to be solved here: see http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/faq

However, for my 2 cents/pence worth, I don't have a problem with this site based on the initial '10 second test' of the front page. I don't think it fits either extreme that you mention.

Yeah I appreciate your opinion. I know it's very subjective, but there are a tonne of user interface design issues which can be proved to be poorly designed. – Colm Jun 20 '11 at 12:03

It doesn't strike me as being beautiful, but I wouldn't consider it ugly or cluttered either. It's not much more cluttered than it needs to be -- it displays the things necessary to convey the appropriate information and not much more. Seems pretty functional to me.

My only complaint about it would be the use of the woman in the "banners" section as a reference for the size of the banners. If you can't figure out how tall 71", 79", 62", etc. banners are, then you're an idiot and a woman of unknown height standing beside them isn't going to help.

I'd say it's average. It's consistent, even if the large image on every page is a bit annoying. The headers are clear and it's not too hard to find information.
