MYNIC is the domain registry and domain registrar in Malaysia. They also are administrator for the .my top level domain name and second-level Malaysia domain names for organizations, businesses and individuals. Such as .com.my, .net.my, .org.my, .gov.my, .edu.my, .mil.my, and .name.my.

Currently, you can only register Malaysia domain names with MYNICs appointed resellers. And, not every company may apply to be a reseller (even if you are an MSC company). But I’m not here to rant about the MYNIC registration process. Instead, I’d like to discuss about their new website launched on June 25, 2008.

The votes so far on the Nuffnang poll I put up (on the right; Nuffnang Column) lean towards website lessons and website design. So have you ever thought you would find or create the perfect e-commerce website layout? And, the website layout may not necessarily refer to the website design.

A perfect website layout is like when Indiana Jones was in search for the last crusade and lead him towards the Holy Grail. Movie metaphors aside a thought hit me one day; what if I created an e-commerce website layout which was near perfect?

Disclaimer: Remarks or comments made by me (Danny Foo) from here onwards is my personal feelings and experiences using selected website mentioned or not mentioned in this article.

I; Danny Foo, can not and will not be held responsible or liable for the comments left posted by third-party authors if it were to happen.

Now, most Malaysia web designers know some of the worst websites in Malaysia are the government related ones. And if you visit them often enough (if you can stand it), they repeat the mistakes over and over again. Thus, it’s easy to know if you make any of these Malaysia government website type mistakes.

I feel embarrassed and ashamed of myself. As a Malaysia website designer, we are suppose to create, innovate and conceptualize. But ever since the Web 2.0 design style took us by storm, misconception of the web 2.0 design style is existent.

Therefore, I want all Malaysia website design companies and designers to watch Elliot Jay Stocks address the current issue at his speech during the recent Future of Web Design (FOWD) conference.

p.s: Why can’t Malaysia have cool conferences similar to FOWD and others at an affordable rate?

I just finished reading the article; How Web 2.0 Style designs disturb me. The article by Onur Oztaskiran gave me this inspiration to write a continuity to it because I once shared his same feelings. The disturbance felt by a designer that websites are beginning to look generally similar.

Basically, Web 2.0 design style derives from the elements of gradients, striped backgrounds or headers, rounded corners and glassy (glossy) objects. Today, Web 2.0 websites are built around these elements over and over and over again. Each new design crafted will have one or all of it. However, there’s a misconception towards this standard design style.
