IT gets worse, having a look through the pages the tabs at the top change colour as well. If you want to have a nose around click here. The main page isn't too bad, which also highlights another problem with the website because just by looking at the two pages you wouldn't think they were the same University (apart from the logo).
I've already complained to them about the changes.

It's not that bad, but I definitely agree with you as far as the colors are concerned. I like the black, orange, and light grey they having going on, but the blues in the links just make my eyes hurt.
Rightfully so, but I think I'd find this conversation to be quite amusing.
"I'm not quite amused by these... changing tab colours!"
Of course, I'm quite certain you outlined your concerns in a more eloquent way, but the perceived possibility of such a conversation is amusing to me. And they could at least have the decency of integrating the logo into the header in a more subtle way. That white is just jarring.
The layout isn't even that bad I get the idea I could find what I was looking for. But the colors make it clear taste is not subjective.
You think yours is bad, take a gander at this: http://www.ccsf.edu - try finding anything! Go ahead, I dare you - it's like a home page on mescaline. CCSF is where I do studio ceramics work, and using their Web page it's a miracle anyone ever gets correctly registered.
Its just like every one public service website. Crap. Have you ever been to your local city's or states webiste, they suck, the color choices are bad, they have no navigation system known to man.
The only thing that public service websites are good for are web development classes. It makes it really easy, you can refer students to one URL and point every single thing you should't do.
Our loss, and even more their's as they lose cusomers/ visiters

Yes, I have to agree.
This site has been tarred with the ugly brush, but I think the designers have made a reasonable compromise between Function and Aesthetics.
If the logo had been better integrated onto the header, which could have easily been accomplished by removing the white bg and using white text, and the link colour matched the tab colour of their respective pages I believe the thing would look a lot better.
I admit to using ranges of colours to identify different areas in web-sites on occasion myself, as I have found it comforting to those who are new to the internet.
Quite frankly, I hope you guys can find something better to whinge about. I'm getting bored.

Yikes! that brought back memories of my first time web-sufing in the 90's.
It's like that giant RED button one isn't supposed to pressSC68Cal said:
