Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron

Flash based website featuring the usual bio, photos, films

Needs lots and lots and lots more work on the design IMO. Haven't you guys ever heard of optimizing images?!

Holy crap! The Charlize Theron site sucks big time! Get this; rather than copy a text version of the GQ - "She's the New Cameron Diaz!" article onto the site, they have scanned the page from the actual magazine and saved it as a 429.37 KB .GIF image! That's a half Mb download just for one page. The same page as a text file would be about 2Kb.

If you do decide to view, make sure you have a bandwidth allowance of about 500 Gb. The site is about as user friendly as barbed toilet paper!

Update:
Well, the site has been updated but it is still totally naff, with the dodgiest flash intro I think I've ever seen. Some websites are uber-cool, some are naff but at least they tried; and then there is the website of Charlize Theron.
