The Design Vote?
May 6th, 2010 by Mat DolphinWhich political party’s website wins the design vote?
Okay, so today’s the day. Whoever you vote for and for what ever reason, today’s the day we express our democratic right to vote. So do it.
Not wanting to detract from the importance of this occasion I wanted to take a moment to look at the design of the three main parties’ home pages to see which site – not party – would get my vote.
Complete impartiality, (and in alphabetical order), which party’s site would get your vote?
The Conservative Party
The Labour Party
The Liberal Democrates
For a good insight into the design of each site read Jamil Shehadeh’s article here.
And the winner?
On the basis of their websites, my personal view is that the Conservative home page is the strongest and most clearly considered.
But what do you think? Do you agree? And do any of the other parties have even better sites?
Let me know.
Mat

The conservative website is just like the conservative party – style over substance. Today’s election winner will have to make public spending cuts so big that they’ll risk not getting elected again for a very long time. For this reason I’m almost tempted to vote for Cameron’s clowns. Almost. Sorry, probably should have said something design related.
Flowers are pretty eh?
