Maybe, if you read what I wrote, you could see that this was the purpose to not follow the design principles, usability principles, readability principles.... there is virtually nothing about this site that is consistent with the UI/UX design principles I follow.
I could do worse, I could do much more fun to frustrate visitors.
But I kept it neat, no animated Gif's on every first page with 'under construction' signs.
I could place the unnecessary scrollbar at the left too, fun for confusing people
No buttons mentioning that this site is made with frontpage.
No bad color contrasts so the font that is already small enough, won't be readable anymore.
No hided navigation that will only show if you hover with your mouse.
No annyoing mouse cursor in another style like crosshair or when you hover a link it changes the cursor to the progress or wait cursor.
No image in the header of the site that is 500px height so people with a 800*600px screen have to scroll down to find a navigation. No circular button in front with the logo of the site that ain't clickable neither.
You obviously have no clue of the intentions that I had. You could have, but you readn't.
But the funny fact is that if you compare the website with ranking/value meter like Alexa or something else, it still rates good, or anyway better than Tyler's one that is made "the good way". (as an example I compared for fun).

Or on Webuka - Website worth calculator you can see the difference too.
Ironically, I'm not in competition, not anymore. I don't have to find clients or have to do marketing.
I don't need the good principles anymore of what a good website should be, I can do without any rules what I want
Ironically I knów how all stuff should be the correct way because I came from webdesign business and with my previous sites I did it the good way. I don't need any explainations about that
