South African Embassy
I think the Embassy of the Republic of South Africa in Washington DC should be renamed to the "Embarrassment of the Republic of South Africa" after this one. :)
At the time of writing, on the front page of the site, they have a photo of Welile Nhlapo, the South African Ambassador to the United States. That's cool, but the problem is that it is a JPEG image 2592 pixels by 3888 pixels in size, scaled down to a mere 140 by 199 pixels. The image is about 2MB in size and is very slow to download, at least from my house.
I honestly do not believe we should portray our technological competence to the outside world like that on the modern day. We have many excellent web developers in this country. Why is the embassy not contracting one of them in to do a proper job, and perhaps even remove the well-deprecated frameset while they are at it?
