How not to style a web page (but good for sausages!)

[BillyRayPreachersSon]

While looking for sausages, I found this page which I think is a prime example of not-so-good design.

The reason I'm posting it is so people can see that sometimes, you do need to take a step back and realise that while individual components that go into a web site might be good in themselves (e.g. copy, images, etc) - they often don't work when put together.

P.S. They do make excellent sausages, though!

Could be better and pulled together more but it's not *that* bad. I've seen a lot worse!
Other than the homepage text, which I couldn't read (but that may be because the background image didn't load for whatever reason).

Under the hood it's pretty ugly, but I have to agree with Foamcow - other than that unreadable text, I've seen a lot worse!

Lots of stuff going on in that span I think.

That's WYSIWG for you.
It's what happens when you get a print design agency thinking they can build websites.
