They use tables for layout.

Are... they kidding, right?

They appear to be more of a graphics and creative design agency than a group of web development ninjas. It seems they have quite an impressive range of clients (even if their portfolio is painful to navigate).

You're right, though. That website is a bit rubbish

I've seen a lot worse.

I quite liked the audio... But yeah the portfolio arrangement was really annoying, I couldn't remember what I had and hadn't clicked.

You think that web site is bad? Take a look at this - http://www.worldwidewebdesign.co.uk/ on of my local competitors.

you'd be surprised the amount of professionals that use tables for layout, even though it's considered deprecated. if you have a design manager that's set in his ways and doesn't trust change, you'll generally find that they are masters of table layouts and won't move to CSS unless you sit there and talk them through how to do it. i've recently been through this and it's not pretty

edit: that ginger monkeys website is very good-looking. and i really like the portfolio navigation, although it could do with an integrated "back" when you're viewing one of their clients

That is terrible, their portfolio is also quite shockingly terrible. Worrying they have so many clients.

Is that the old one or the re-design?

Hmm, wonder what they could be using?

I like the title of the gingermonkeys site:

Code:

GINGERMONKEYS &bull; MARKETING LIMITED

mortals · 6 Sep 2006 at 00:09

looks like they like using flash and ambient music

I was waiting for something to happen on that page, while staring at the 70's wallpaper design

Seen worse tho, seems like they're more into graphical stuff and forgot to learn about coding etc. Loads of scripting errors

The way the site works seems really basic, 1 whole page with the same stuff on etc??? lol

I've seen a lot worse.

Some of their images on their sites are quite funny

ARGHH!!!!!!! STOP THE MUUUSIIIIICCCC *click* ah closed
