So I was interested in the work Dr. Alan MacDonald has done after watching under our skin and went to his website only to find that it is virtually unreadable. My Lyme brain went on overload looking at it: http://www.molecularalzheimer.org/
I can not process anything on the site. There is just too much going on.
It's a shame, the guy seems brilliant but his website is um... I am speechless
Do you think he knows it is so bad, maybe he had a friend or something create the site?
The site needs to be done in a serial chronological order or by topic from top to bottom not side to side. As you get towards the bottom of the site it becomes slightly more readable but still an overload.

I agree, it doesn't look serious, just very busy.
It may be well intended, but I think a more calm, standard layout would look better and be easier to view.

I liked it? Sorry did anyone ever try blue blocker sunglasses here or even plain sunglasses? They may help?

I too think it is too busy and lacks a professional look/feel.
I came across this site before and barely looked
at it so I didn't even recognize that it was
research by someone I would want to see.
I noted that on the site it states
"The Research support has been provided by
Turn the Corner Foundation, New York ,NY
and St Catherine of Siena Medical Center,
Smithtown, New York" Perhaps one of these groups
could pay to have a better web design. What do
people think? Would it threaten funding if I
asked?
