The problem with the design of this page isn't with the font, or with the decision to minimize decoration. The execution in that regard is done well.

The big problem is an aggressive blue (RGB 0,0,255) and similarly extreme Yellow (255,255,0). My eyes actually hurt when I scrolled to the bottom of the page and observed the yellow - there's a reason that these shades are reserved for CSS testing purposes only. This service is letting me know that they think their own time is too precious to spare a potential user a headache. It's not edgy or cool - it's entitled and lazy.

Lack of padding (aka breathing room) around text elements is a second but admittedly much more minor problem.

I would like a service that touts Design in the name to be at least semi-conscious of some very basic user-friendly design principles.



I mean about colors i actually like pure RGB colors. It is very lively vibrant, but i guess that is taste.

About the spacing admitedly i saw this on mobile and it looked great but now after seeing on desktop it is not that great. I am not fan of long lines of text.
