Last week it was announced that Prince William & Kate Middleton (i.e the Future King & Future Queen) have created a charitable gift fund to help celebrate their wedding.

Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton have created a charitable gift fund to help celebrate their wedding. The fund will focus on assisting charities which support the five causes chosen by the couple. These causes are close to their hearts and reflect the experiences, passions and values of their lives so far. Having been touched by the goodwill shown to them since their engagement, they have asked that anyone wishing to send them a wedding gift consider doing so in the form of a donation to the fund.

They have had a website set up for them for this fund. On this site people can choose how much money they would like to donate, and to which charities. Disclaimer: I am in no way a royalist. I think their website is rubbish. It feels clunky. Everything about it. The company behind it, just need to spend a couple of hours, adding a few nice touches to it. It just needs a bit of love. Just like all clients, I am sure the future king, became a back seat designer / developer. However, it just needs a bit of love. Just a couple of extra hours on the css and javascript. Nothing more.

It is the future king for god’s sake. Imagine if someone churned this out for King Henry VIII. I bet if a horse breeder gave the king a horse that had three legs to go into battle, he wouldn’t be too pleased. I am sure there would be one less horse breeder. OK, maybe that is a tad extreme, and really not that relevant, but it got the point across…

FWIW I have offered some of my free time to help them give it some much needed love.
