Wellington's deputy mayor has slammed the council's more than $600,000 spend on a website for the capital's new library, labelling it ''an atrocious amount of money''.

https://www.tematapihi.govt.nz/ is the website.

I’ve had a quick poke around, lots of animations that are slow to load, very flashy website, doesn’t seem very well adapted to mobile. Pretty annoying to navigate, to be honest.

    I wish more public websites were designed to work without JavaScript. I can’t imagine older adults with legacy devices enjoying this website at all.

      Funny how they have this accessibility button at the top now. All it does is to disable colours and some animations.

      Today’s webpages really don’t need all that JavaScript. Modern HTML and CSS have pretty much caught up at this point. Do a quick internet search for “You really don’t need all that JavaScript” for more details, including a famous lecture about it posted on YouTube.

      This library/city got ripped off.
