Seeing this thread pop up again, I decided to re-visit the site. It is a bit of a mess. I can get to my personal info and configurations, but if I navigate around very much, as in going back to pages higher up the chain, or closer to the into pages, I end up in French.
It seems as though they have spent their time on dramatic images and fancy typefaces rather than starting with good basic webpage layout and navigation. I agree that the new site is worse than the previous site, which was no screamin' hell, as we say.
I'm not too bothered, and I haven't had the relationship-ending frustrations that others have, but this public face of the company is not very successful. As I'm not relying on their website for some important task, I can afford to be mildly amused and disappointed rather than infuriated. I know not to be surprised, but most kids in first year of some website design program could do better.
