When I visited Mr. Dale at the Skyranch a while back, he
was sitting at his Apple G4 updating his site. We had a
little bit of discussion re: his site design aesthetics. He
believes that the varied size fonts and different color
fonts "makes his site easier to read" (yikes!) He also
seems to think that there is some sort of logic to his
somewhat haphazard navigation/link/web architecture setup.
He believes that "it's easy to find information" at his
site because "all you have to do is keep scrolling down".
(double-yipes!)
Dick is super-loyal to his close pals...his buddy Carlos
designed the "flashing-eyed Dick Dale Skull" logo and the
navigation buttons. That's why those features remain,
because Dick likes those garrish features, and his buddy
Carlos created them.
The impression I got was that Mr. Dale is perfectly
satisfied with the way his site looks and works
(amatuerish, at best...downright annoying and an eyesore at
worst)...additionally, he is also satisfied because he
understands his sites geography and framework and can
easily update his own site at will. In other words, the
site seems to work for Dick, so why change it?
One thing is for sure, the King of Surf Guitar is
definately not the King of Web Design.
God Bless the King!
