FNB explains their website redesign

Some laughs to be had when inspecting the source:



Shouldn't build HTML?

I am just fascinated about the poor quality of the code and the complete lack of best practises (TBH as a developer I would not plaster my name all over JS code). CSS and JS are not minified, no use of CDN, several 404 resources, static content is not cacheable, images not optimized - just shows that no-one in their tech team has any clue about website optimization (makes one wonder how their backend Java was developed then).
 
Had a nightmare trying to add a Standard Bank Recipient, After 30 minutes of trying call centre operator advised me to make a once-off payment.
 
Please give us old WEBSITE back. PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE.
 
Just tried on my S3 mini, what a pain to look at transactions on it it you really have to drill down. I prefer the PC for that, but it will be useful for adhoc payments.
 
The new site looks like it was designed by a schoolgoing kid... so square-ish and bright colours.
 
Has anyone tried to login via Mac OS X. Cannot login at all via Chrome, Safari or Firefox tonight.
 
Yeap new site is horrible. Labels overlap. Textbox fonts are too big for the textbox.
