Random Generator Parodies Vapid Startup Websites

Posted by Soulskill on from the leveraging-your-synergies dept.

alphadogg writes: A pair of Georgia Tech computer science students have created a Random Startup Website Generator that spits out a different jargon-laden startup website every time you click on the URL. Mike Bradley and Tiffany Zhang's project "serves as a parody of startups that have websites full of vague praise and little information about their actual business, often because they have little to show in that regard."

    WELcome... to Zombo Com!

    You can do Anything at Zombo Com,

    The only limit...is yourself.

    Sadly, at the moment, the only limit is the zombo.com bandwidth limits.

    At least now perhaps we can put to rest some of these awful trends in web design:

    - Oversized graphics that require excessive scrolling.

    - Parallax silliness (Because we can)

    - Round bio photos (Because Apple, that's why)

    - Giant "flat design" icons that add zero value

    - The full-screen expanded "hero" div which is basically this decade's "title screen". (Seriously, title screens suck. Why is one that requires slowly 'scrolling' past -

    - better than one that one clicks past?)

    - The giant quote. Does this need to fill up 1/3 of my screen? Why?
